I got an ad months ago for a "vacuum with AI."

I think it was Samsung, it "used AI" to change heights between hard floors / carpet. It's the kind of thing that would have been marketed as "Algorithmic" in the 2000s or "Auto-vac technology" in the 1960s. Marketing has just reached the point where they jump on anything with almost negative notice.
