Platner’s “Heirloom” AI Toaster Now Charges Subscription Fee For Toasting Your Bread To A Perfect Amber, AITA For Just Eating It Raw?
TL;DR: The luxury brand behind those overpriced wire chairs just dropped an AI-powered “smart toaster” that requires a $9.99/month platinum subscription to unlock the “optimal browning algorithms.” If you decline, it burns your bread to charcoal and lectures you about “carbon footprints.” I told my friend who bought one they got scammed, and now they’re mad I’m “not supporting innovation.” AITA for suggesting they just buy a $20 toaster from Target? Honestly, the metaverse of appliances is here and it’s as useless as I expected. 🔥🍞
