The same reason they now have a toothbrush with AI. Because they are in a race to continuously re-invent the toothbrush every year to create new USPs, create new marketing angles and keep sales high.

As Arthur Schopenhauer said: “Buying books would be a good thing if you could also buy the time to read them” People think that everything can be solved by an app, “if you can’t do it without it probly won’t with it either”

A toothbrush with AI is the funniest thing I've read today, thank you.

I have seen products reported about on YouTube that used ‘ai’ to mean a timer.
