Screen cover. Optimised for ✨AI✨
@catsalad
Superb warning sign.
Instant marketing loss.
Glad they told us.
@catsalad
Reminds me of "compatible with Vista" on LCD monitors
@catsalad thank god regulation labels like these exist to prevent users from buying poisonous products.
@catsalad are we sure it's not "Al"? A lot of people called Al have trouble with screen covers...
@catsalad a good screen protector can make your AI more useless faster
@catsalad maybe it’s extra damage-resistant for when AI makes you want to fling the phone out the window.
@catsalad
As I've been saying:
"#ArtificialIntelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity." 🤦♂️
@catsalad That a screen cover is optimised for AI tells you everything you need about the substance of AI.
@catsalad So nobody noticed that that logo outlines a swastika? (Though with the rotation in the other direction than rather infamous symbols of eighty years ago.)
@catsalad my vape says it has AI.
It doesn't, of course. But it does have a color LCD screen with animations and RGB LED's on the sides. So that CPU probably could run a shitpost bot, yeah. Or Doom. It has mobs, and that's AI, right?

@catsalad Full transparency. This is what you want in a phone screen protector. 👍😉
@catsalad We'd be stupid not to want a really smart cover to go with the upcoming $3,500 "made in Detroit by laid off autoworkers" iPhone.
@catsalad must help the end user believe the "hallucinations" that AI comes up with.
@catsalad Uhm. I'm not convinced yet. Is it also gluten free?
@catsalad “AI” stands for “Artificial Ilumination”, I guess
@catsalad You wont believe the amount of ppl who actaully believe this
@catsalad Why does it lowkey look like a swastika though
@catsalad
But is this screen-cover gluten free, CatSalad?
@catsalad Can I also get an AI blocking screen cover?
@catsalad Does it work with Windows Vista? Inquiring minds (with worsening age related pains) want to know.
@catsalad but you clicked, so hey, it works /sarcasm 😅
@catsalad
I first read it as "compromised by ai" which would also fit very well.
@catsalad Maybe the customer was called Alan, so it's optimised for AL...
@catsalad
This is one of those stupid marketing things where everything ML related gets called AI. Yes, apple chips have been developed to run models, but obviously not the big ones.
Our company uses an ML vision model to interact with a specific kind of object in world, and the muckity-mucks decided this was "AI" and we should call it that.
Remember, kids, AI is a marketing term, not a technical one.
@catsalad An AI powered screen cover? Seriously? Next will be an AI powered door knob. It memorizes the exact times you walk through every day and opens for you.
@catsalad the “reason” behind this is because apple made a soft gesture at the bottom of the screen that you can hit accidentally if you have ai assist on very easily. This product either helps retain that annoying gesture or eliminates it and I have no idea which.
@catsalad I guess “optimized for AI” is the new “gluten free”
@catsalad Sorry, I can’t hear you over how optimized for AI my Bluetooth earbuds are.
@catsalad Nothing worse than screen protectors that are not Ai optimized.
@catsalad guess we really are in the "radium butter" phase of the AI fad.
Do words even mean anything, anymore?
@catsalad This is like those "color TV" antennas sold back in the 1970's.
(This antenna gets all the colors.)
@catsalad So it comes pre-scented with essence of bullshit?
@catsalad Yep. Ordinary screen covers are made of materials that don't let the AI in (they diffract it off the WiFi port, or maybe they reverse the polarity of the neutron flow that powers Siri). These days, though, not letting the AI in is precisely what you do want.
"optimized for AI"
hardened and padded so the phone isn't damaged as much as you punch it repeatedly in frustration?
@catsalad
Is it MS Teams & Copilot compatible?

Wasn't there some fellow in 1999 who wrote to various inappropriate firms to ask them if their products were Y2K-ready?
Just so he could get back, collect, and publish their humorously perplexed replies.
Like a letter from a manufacturer of peanut butter.
@catsalad it’s just bad distinction between lower case and upper case letters. The protector is specifically optimised for use in aluminium smelting plants, and the unique risks found therein.
