> For example, even toasters can have LLMs in them. Give it ability to control temperature and humidity and you have the perfect toaster machine that can toast everyones bread upon request.

My toaster has a little dial on the side that lets me do that already. I don't need to have a conversation with my toaster to get it to toast the bread, I just put the bread in it, push the lever down, and then toast happens.

Works just fine.



That’s because you don’t know better toasts. That dial controls just one parameter and in my experience they suck at consistency between a warm batch and cold batch.


Here's a very consistent toaster from the 60s where the dial sets how dark you want the toast, instead of how long to toast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfxlSG6q5Y


Seems like a skill issue on your part.
