Even rice cookers started doing this by advertising "fuzzy logic".

Fuzzy logic rice cookers are the result of an unrelated fad in 1990s Japanese engineering companies. They added fuzzy controls to everything from cameras to subways to home appliances. It's not part of the current ML fad.

Yes. My point is that technology fads aren't new and getting mad at them is a bit like getting mad at fashion or taste.
