Comedian Kurtis Conner dives into the world of artificial intelligence in his latest video "Pointless AI Products". With his signature humor and sharp wit, Kurtis takes a critical look at the ever-growing influx of AI-powered gadgets that seem to serve no real purpose. From AI strollers to AI toilets, Kurtis leaves no stone unturned in his comedic critique of these bizarre innovations.

Kurtis begins by expressing his frustration with the omnipresence of AI in today's technology landscape. He points out how companies are constantly promoting new AI features, often at the expense of genuine creativity and practicality. A prime example he discusses is the AI-generated cover art for the new single by Tears for Fears. Known for their iconic song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," the band’s decision to use uninspired AI artwork has left many fans, including Kurtis, disappointed and perplexed.

Throughout the video, Kurtis provides a humorous analysis of various AI products that have recently hit the market. He starts with the AI stroller, a gadget that promises to revolutionize parenting but comes off as unnecessary and over-engineered. Next, he tackles AI binoculars, questioning the need for artificial intelligence in a device that has functioned perfectly well for centuries.

Kurtis also critiques the AI-powered grill, AI-powered mirror, and even an AI toilet, each more ridiculous than the last. The absurdity reaches a peak when he discusses an AI energy drink and an AI baby cry translator, highlighting the lengths to which companies will go to incorporate AI into their products, regardless of practicality or demand.

Moreover, Kurtis touches on the environmental impact of AI image generation, stressing how these technologies can have a significant carbon footprint. He reflects on the pressure companies face from corporate executives to integrate AI, often resulting in backlash from consumers.

Kurtis also mentions how AI was a central issue during the recent writers' strike and the negative reception AI propaganda received at the South by Southwest festival. He cites other creators like Drew and Eddie, who have also made compelling videos on the subject, further enriching the conversation around AI's role in modern technology.
