Thanks I’d rather my beer stay analogue
What’s next you tech bro wankers, is AI going to drink the pint for me?
… just when you thought they couldn’t force AI into any more things. The epitome of a solution in search of a problem
When the AI bubble pops, lots of companies are going to be scrambling to say “we were never an AI company”
“Real products, that actually work.”
It’s just a matter of which major company starts taking advantage first of the decent amount of trendsetters who already knows it’s mostly garbage, and decide improve their brand standing via consumer trust by making fun of it. We’re still at the phase where companies are trying to figure out what if any used there are and sift through the bullshit, so they’re scared to call it out still for fear of market reprisal or being wrong and missing something.
I assume that “AI” in this context is a thermostat which keeps the fermenting tanks at the right temperature?
Almost certainly.
“AI” is a marketing term.
I actually don’t even believe it. I’ve brewed beer, I’ve poured beer, I’ve even drank beer.
At no point in any of these processes could I see ai being used in anyway that would give any kind of benefit.
I think this is just an outright lie to jump onto the ai hype train. And in the process, completely alienating any customers that aren’t tech bro douchebags
My local brewery is very connected, with advanced systems checking every step of the process and sending automated alerts. There’s no need for AI
Unfortunately I think they got their marketing spot on. (Tho I agree with everything you say, also as a homebrewer)
The venn diagram of people who make liking IPA their personality and people who are likely tech bros is closer to a circle than it should be.
More likely it overlaps with executives who leap on whatever bandwagon the business article they are reading is or the consulting company told them was hot. See this constantly in IT with programming languages, apps, agile development, etc.
I need a massive data center to do what people have been doing very well for thousands of years.
dotcom bubble popping will be insignificant next to this one
Intelligence Pale Artificial?
Not to be confused with Intelligence Phonetic Artificial.
Mark Zuckerberg?
Y tho?
because they used AI to generate this crap too…
What the actual goddamn fucking fuck
This reminds me of pretty much the response to every new tech. When LCD clocks become cheap in the 70s they stuck clocks on everything, even lamps. Then when LED lights became cheap in the 80s-90s they stuck annoying LEDs on every device until your rooms looked like it was Christmas. Then when the web boomed in the 90s every business, even my corner gas station, felt they needed a web site, same with mobile apps later on. Now AI is the thing so they will cram it into everything they can. Your toilet will have “AI”'.
“Will”? Toilets already have AI to analyze your stool. Write your own jokes.
