   @BackFromTheDud @kibcol1049 And, more to the point, you can have an intelligent dishwasher without AI. It’s called good design ;)

     @Ralph058 @BackFromTheDud @kibcol1049 Intelligent !== artificial intelligence

     An “intelligent” washing machine, for example, might have separate drawers for different types of clothes that need to be washed differently and wash them separately, using optimal temperature, duration, amount of detergent and softener, etc., All this can be pre-programmed into it. No AI necessary. And still, intelligent. i.e., well-designed

     No you can't. By definition, an intelligent dishwasher is one with artificial intelligence...no matter how primitive.
     You can have an intelligent dishwasher without LLMs. Simple speech/gesture recognition would improve the usability for the handicapped but voice recognition of simple commands needs the internet or a hell of a lot of memory.
     I run several AI tasks on a RP2040 including gesture recognition.
