alt Hacker NewsI think this would make sense for consumer hardware, not for AI companies.
AI companies constantly update/change stuff, new models come out, new requirements, etc.
But if you ship an "ai-powered" dishwasher, it can come with the chip built-in to do computer vision and precisely target each spot, and will be sold as-is with no updates.

You don’t need this chip to do that. Computer vision has used machine learning for decades. The task you’re describing is pretty rudimentary and an off the shelf model with a control system would do it way cheaper.

subscription "ai-powered" dishwasher with personalized user ads, most of the chip dedicated to "personalized" not spots.

Makes sense. Actually to expand, I believe this can make a lot of sense for industrial robots and such which have a more or less fixed job and latency matters more, so a well tested model may be more valuable than need to keep updating them
