You can base an entire food brand on that article. The Tik Tok channel alone would be massive.
You could also pull a Michel Gondry and do it with practical effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5FyfQDO5g0&list=RDs5FyfQDO5...

Re:The Impact of Generative AI on Work Productivity on Friday February 28, 2025 @01:16PM (#43208657)
This study finds 28% of U.S. workers use generative AI, saving users an average of 2.2 hours weekly and potentially increasing aggregate productivity by 1.1%. Usage is highest in computing fields, but these gains may not appear in official statistics since most adoption remains informal, with only 5.4% of firms formally implementing the technology.

Re:The Quest for a Simple Smartwatch on Thursday June 29, 2023 @08:28AM (#36519488)
I have a Skagen Jorn and could not be happier. It tracks sleep, workouts, has a silent alarm, sends notifications from my phone, and looks sharp. I wanted a watch with an e-ink display so I don't have to look at a light source all the time. It lasts over two weeks on one charge. The app is a little weird, but overall a great watch.
