why on gods green earth you need llm to do image recognition, and to just analyze your trash, not even sort it, what is this shit
Because it’s easier to throw ChatGPT at a problem than build a model to solve it
Because that's how you get big investors on board before you develop nothing, advertise how you have big investors and get yourself acquired before people realise you've been spewing more trash verbally than your product can even recycle.
Basic analytics will be free but it’s intending to introduce premium features via subscription.
Nickled and dimed by a thousand subscriptions... Seriously who would want this? Who is going to pay to have their trash monitored by some data company?
Yes, let's run a giant server that wastes energy so people can throw away their trash in the right bin (somehow), only for that trash to then not be recycled properly later regardless. Great business model, guys!
Sure, I want everything I toss away tracked and posted up on the cloud. More big brother fuckery.
Yeah. I'd say if you're throwing away paper coffee cups regularly, you're already way worse than me who uses regular porcelain cups with nerdy text on them or my trusty stainless steel travel mug. Maybe you really need to be lectured by some ChatGPT smart appliance. (Disclaimer: There might be some circumstances where you can't avoid them.)
shlon trash comes to trash
