Transcripts
artificial intelligence so good it's
working out great you know cuz our
everyday people don't have to do tedious
tasks anymore they can just spend their
time working on passionate things their
art their their poetry their anything
wait a minute it's the other way round
got to love the idea of there
potentially being no more new actors in
the world because you can just AI their
likeness and just CG themit to anything
you want and I love the amount of fake
crap on social media like funl looking
factoids or like interesting looking
animals that are rare or something and
then learning that they they're not real
awesome instead of us learning more
we're actually getting stupider who what
if Big Marketing firms tried to use AI
as some sort of cheap marketing gimmick
to get people to buy more crap that they
don't need whatever marketing team is
involved in this they would have had to
been belly laughing the whole time
especially the graphic designer making
this hot mess here look at this computer
chiping like AI
rice I'm like laughing because I know
how a rice cooker works and like a rice
cooker is one of the cleverest most like
simplest whatever technology connections
fantastic Channel why aren't you sub to
it why are you watching MyCraft go watch
them and I'm just going to try and
summarize this up cuz I'd love you to go
and watch their video cuz it's it's that
stinking good but it's a sum up a rice
cooker right it works on two principles
when you boil water you can't make it
hotter it gets 100Β° and that's it if you
add more temperature it just boils
faster but it doesn't get hotter and
Magnets How do they wear magnets when
you heat them up lose their magic
magnetic whatevers the way a simple rice
cooker works right it's got like a
plunger thing in the middle it's a
really simple switch using a magnet
that's been calibrated to lose its
magnetic at like slightly above boiling
temperature cuz when you add the rice
and you add the water right and the
water boils away the rice that's in
there can get hotter than 100Β° so as
soon as the temperature goes above that
all the water must be gone so magnetic
stops being sticky click the machine
turns off Bing Bong your rice is ready
so why the stink do you need AI involved
in any stinking way I mean I love this
though exclusive spherical pot right
like witches cauldrons haven't existed
for centuries or nothing but yeah here
she is mate te te I love this though
look how poorly they photoshopped in
like these like dishes and things look
at that that is sitting on a different
plane to the rest of it did AI do this
actually with how good AI is at the
moment I would actually imagine this
being AI so what kind of contous idiot
would buy an AI rice cooker especially
when they know how simple a rice cooker
can be uh me I'm the Muppet who bought
this why I didn't know it had AI in it I
got this from JB highi I think like
online they had like a sale on this or
something I needed a rice cooker this
was going for cheap so I grabbed it and
literally after using it for two times
so I look at the front of this big giant
nugget and go wait a minute this has has
artificial intelligence written on it
that's when I saw the AI rice stinking
graphic here I mean may maybe the man
well will tell us more how many pages is
actually uh oh different language um
okay so yeah about that much oh dear uh
I okay that's actually that's gone very
poorly now I have to turn these one at a
a who did this get get to the AI bit hey
tell me about the AI or you got to love
this protect the environment you know
like it's designed to run for many years
I bet that's a however you know before
discarding your plans you should remove
the battery from the timer dispose of
the local whatever how about don't put
batteries and crap that plugs into the
wall right how about do that still
looking for that AI bit
uh whatever well according to tefl T who
cares he uses fuzzy logic AI U I got
friends of mine who actually do work in
AI where they need security clearances
to actually go to work sort of thing you
know highend kind of stuff and I ran up
past him and said like is this actually
Ai and he summed it up saying like one
man's software is another man's AI in
other words you can call anything AI I
mean old school video games had AI it's
a rice cooker yeah you put your rice in
it mate you put your water in it mate
and you got to put the right amount in
no amount of AI can fix that bit right
if you get the water to rice ratio wrong
it doesn't work press the buttons wait a
bit Bing Bong you got freaking rice
there you go M it's bottled of rice and
like anywhere you go you can just have a
refreshing I stinking crap and then
looking at this idiot closely huh it's
got the same stinking plunger in the
bottom of it huh it literally weighs
nothing mate I had to pop her open and
actually take a look can't wait to meet
the AI that lives in here mate wonder if
his name's Terry come on wait uh uh-huh
okay uh it's looking pretty high Tey
mate is getting pretty nuts yeah right
that's where the the power comes out
nice crimps on those oh mate you know
she's good she got genuine suu
components uh yeah it's looking pretty
basic in here you got like the the
dumbest guts front panel you got
whatever the stink that is and yeah the
Old Spring
B mate she's just a stinking rice cooker
except for this kind of like lid bit
with this like silicone bit to it this
stins like a basic rice cooker you can
just Chuck in the dishw or whatever man
the scunge that gets underneath here
like this is a mold Factory like like
home penicillin kit
basically man I'm giving this thing a
fair old licking ha when like you know
really it's it's a perfectly fine rice
cooker it works fine it's all good but
gosh I hate crappy marketing cuz like te
have been making stuff with fuzzy logic
like whatever's in it for a long time
like finding like 6 years ago like
they've got with the same technology in
it but they don't bug on about it being
un intelligent but the whole fuzzy logic
thing what that is is just it's more
than on and off you'll be blown away how
many cooking things that heat up stuff
are just on and off like the control
temperature by flicking on and off
quicker so you want a hot it it'll be on
off on off or if you want cooler it's
going to be on off on off it's it's that
simple so with fuzzy logic there are
more temperatures than just hot and cold
right it can in between so what that's
stuff they've been doing for a while but
no mate AI is in vog okay quick slap
that on the front and sell more of them
I I guess I just find this kind of
marketing really really tiring but the
big thing about the whole AI
intelligence thing make you cooking
better and whatnot like you know if you
get the water to rice ratio wrong it
doesn't work you it doesn't pick the
correct grain of rice for the dish that
you're doing either so all the
prerequisites of making good rice don't
change whether you get an AI smart
business thing or the basic rice cooker
that's what really gets me about this I
mean yes it does other things but just
get a slow cooker just get a dedicated
one but yeah AI doesn't fix a lot of the
issues of making good race right sorry
te mate didn't mean to come at you so
hard but you just done annoyed me mate
huh but I I still really do just want a
basic one just cuz of how crappy this
thing is to clean and deal with oh oh
there's the button I just cancel
ownership of
this why isn't it
working
that mate just pull her out of the
freezer when she done looking like a bow
tie you got yourself a slamming lunch
right there I really should have just
gotten a really basic one right cuz
they're easier to clean they're easier
to live with like a rice cooker doesn't
have to be complicated I got this
because I got greedy right it's the same
reason people have huge trucks and SUVs
right we love potential right you don't
need something that big but what if you
do oh you've got it and I like the idea
of it being a slow cooker and a broiler
and you can make conji or something and
and never did I realize that I never had
those things in my mind marketeers or
wherever you thinking call them they
just want to sell you more crap and if
they can prove with 3 billion asteres
that it's technically artificial
intelligence they'll print it right on
the front I mean jokes on me I I bought
this luy he was on special and honestly
I'm probably just going to dump it at
like the Salos or something and just get
the basic rice cooker that I actually
need so yeah thanks AI thanks for fixing
problems by being a bigger one and uh
make sure you you give this a go hey
right you can have this for lunch every
day I mean you can't get in there at the
moment it's but I mean give it a go and
that's it thanks so much for watching
shoes than my floaties mate extra vids
and whatnot there Frank's there speaking
of Frank you can still order a Frank and
a hat that's still happening you can get
one once it's done it's gone mate no no
more Frank with a hat after this point
so if you want a noodle boot with a
stinky Snoop mate you can get that done
and M you know we'll see us all next
time with the m
