Companies like this really are failing to think long term. AIs cannot create new content. All they can do is rehash their training data, because they're effectively a glorified autocomplete. So in a few years time, Stack Overflow will have new questions on it, some of which will relate to new problems. Those questions will require humans with real knowledge and understanding to answer them, and where's the motivation for anybody to do that if their answer will immediately be fed into an AI? In the long-term AIs will be useless because they can't advance or update without new content, and humans are being disincentivised from creating new content by companies who want to make a quick buck selling their content without compensating them.
So I may be reading too far into this, but does this machine check your age and ethnicity to work out how much you might be willing to pay for M&Ms then charge you that much?
The company's documentation says it's for detecting when people walk by so it can turn on the screen. Because apparently a good old fashioned motion sensor wasn't good enough...
Edit: thought about this for another few seconds. It was probably so they could slap "AI" onto it for marketing.
