Yeah, exactly. Undiscerning shoppers hear "Smart" TV and either assume it's better or buy whatever's put in front of them most loudly without even wondering if it's better or not. Those same people will ensure that AI products are successful and alternatives will similarly disappear.

People buy the cheapest option.
Two identical TVs the same size and make, one “smart”, one not. The smart is $10 cheaper, people go for that.

This. And the smart one is cheaper because it's a collection device for data on you that they can sell.

I wouldn't mind these "smart" TVs so much if they didn't suck so much for regular use. Why does it take 30+ seconds for me to get my television turned on when I just want to use a gaming console plugged into one of the inputs??
