The problem with AI isn’t that it’s not been clearly explained. The problem is, it sucks.

    My mom visited me once and asked me why I didn’t set the time on the stove, since, you know, it’s a clock. “Mom, I have never once gone ‘oh man what time is it? I better check the stove.’ Especially after I had a smartphone on me all the time”

      I’m in your boat. I don’t even change my clocks for DST anymore. It doesn’t really matter beyond a ballpark what time it is most of the time (and keeping to standard time means my animals’ schedules don’t get messed up every 6 months). If there’s an appointment or something that I need an actual time for, I have my phone with tons of alarm options so it’s fine.

      I haven’t set my stove clock in ages, tho I get why it has one since I can program it to start at a certain time, but beyond that appliances shouldn’t even have always-on displays. What’s the purpose other than wasting electricity?

      I mean I do use clocks around the house and don’t have a smartphone on me all the time but still the clocks on appliances can be off for awhile before I bother to set them again.
