Well that's true. I was looking at a Zojirushi rice cooker

One of its selling point is: 'Advanced fuzzy logic technology with AI (Artificial Intelligence) "learns" and adjusts the cooking cycle to get perfect results'

I immediately said no thanks and looked for another model without that, and probably cheaper. It's a rice cooker FFS!

Well at least that's more honest than many many "researchers".
