<br>CES 2024: AI pillows and toothbrushes - is it all getting a bit silly? I'm walking around CES - the tech industry's annual showcase of all its latest gadgets - in a bit of a daze, until this pitch grabs my attention. What on earth is an AI pillow? Motion Sleep, a South Korean company, [Shop Derila Pillow](https://www.story119.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=1172884) has a large space in one of the main exhibition halls at CES. Intrigued, I wander in. First I'm offered a few stats about the consequences of bad sleep. One sign points to the number of accidents caused by drowsy driving. Another goes through the health consequences of sleep apnoea. The solution the company has landed on is a [Shop Derila Pillow](https://santo.kr:443/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=42591) that detects snoring. It then pumps air into different compartments of a pillow, which gently lifts the head, making the offending snorer roll over and - in theory - alleviating snoring. This is a pretty typical CES product so far.<br>
<br>There are thousands of these kinds of inventions that may or [Shop Derila Pillow](https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/view_profile.php?userid=985234) may not take off. But this pillow is different, we are told. This pillow contains AI. And the pillow is far from the only device to lay claim to the special power that, we are meant to believe, AI confers. At Samsung's exhibit, for example, Derila Contour Pillow an entire section was devoted to AI-capable household devices. I'm shown an AI vacuum cleaner - that looks very much like a normal vacuum cleaner - with one small difference. An "AI" function mode apparently allows the vacuum to assess types of surfaces. It can then apply different levels of suction accordingly. There's an AI washing machine that can purportedly detect different types of fabric too. Samsung press release says. I'm shown the washing machine by a Samsung representative. I'm still slightly puzzled about how this is actually using AI. Elsewhere at the show, there's an AI mirror [Shop Derila Pillow](https://hsf-fl-sl.de/wiki/index.php?title=I_Tried_Miracle_%C2%A324_Pillow_Spray_For_Six_Months_And_I_ve_Never_Felt_Better) and even an AI toothbrush. No product is too boring or humdrum, it seems, to escape an AI makeover.<br>
<br>The explanation, perhaps, is that all of these companies are facing pressure from investors and shareholders to have some kind of AI offering, because it attracts attention and investment. OpenAI's incredibly successful launch of ChatGPT is why everyone is talking about AI - and the potential it has. This is a large language model (LLM) that uses a type of machine learning to produce detailed and human-like answers to questions. But an AI toothbrush or vacuum is a very long way away from ChatGPT. And that takes us neatly to one of the major problems with AI more generally. It has no universally accepted definition. Eric Siegel, a machine learning expert, told me over the summer. That lack of a definition means that all things AI have been caught up in a blistering year of hype. That's the case with products that already contained AI without much fanfare before. Now their AI capability, however obscure, [Shop Derila Pillow](https://www.wrapitright.com/tutorials/testing-an-exterior-wall-for-media-compatibility/creating-a-custom-media-profile-in-roland-versaworks/) is hammed up.
