A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

So you are saying that AI today is like Bluetooth today

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I use Bluetooth all the time for speakers and headsets, also the PlayStation 3 controller was Bluetooth, so would that not mean AI will be a top of the line tool in 2 years? I personally don't use it for anything at the moment, but in 2003 Plantronics released Bluetooth headsets for corporate environments (IP phones usually still used to this day).

Seems like more of a we aren't sure where this tool is most useful yet, but it will be used by many people around us.

That's very fair. I don't like how unpredictable Bluetooth is when you have multiple peripherals and multiple hosts paired to eachother and all within range of eachother.

Say what you want about bluetooth, but I'm amazed by the battery life of those devices

Having two pairs of AirBudz, one AirBudz pro, and an Anker speaker attached via BT to my phone and all of them function exactly when I want perfectly… Bluetooth works amazingly.

You never have audio coming out of a device you didn't expect?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

Nope! The budz only produce audio when they’re in my ears or my partner’s. I can select to mirror audio to both of us at the same time when we’re exercising. The speaker only works when I turn it on, but it connects immediately every time. I suppose I forgot about my car, which works but has a delay cuz the infotainment system kinda sucks.
