The AI has decided that this will be the can opener of the future. At least that’s how it has imagined it. Unless you have to open cans on an industrial scale, say 200 cans in half an hour, it might not make sense to have this mammoth and menacing device in the kitchen at home. It looks more like a robot arm than a kitchen utensil. Artifcial Intelligence also informs us that it will be made of materials such as graphene alloys and recyclable polymers. These materials would not only be light and strong, but also sustainable.
Supposedly, the thing would be able to automatically detect the type of can and adjust its operation to make precise cuts without manual effort. That’s the least that can be asked of such a thing. Otherwise, the investment in space and money for the little machine is not cost-effective. Another outstanding innovation would be the use of laser systems, completely eliminating physical contact with the cans, which would make them safer and more hygienic.
AI claims that the design would also contemplate integration with smart appliances, allowing this can opener to become part of a connected ecosystem within the kitchen. Nothing to object to, as long as that presupposed intelligence doesn’t collapse. Imagine where the subversion of the can opener could end up. If it decides that day that you don’t eat, it turns off the vitro, opens a can of green beans and goes on a diet!
