    You don’t want an AI generated non-descript thing?

    Actually, it might not even be AI generated. Just a non-descript thing.

      I have seen AI gadgets in clickbait ads.

      Cool-looking cubes with lots of controls and stuff, but with meaningless symbols and “words” for labels.

      It reminds me how influenced I am by advertising, that I kind of want something that doesn’t exist or have a purpose, just because it looks gadgety.

        I’m reminded of a few projects I’ve seen here and there where a dad with some electronics skills builds a control panel for his kid with a bunch of knobs, buttons, lights, switches, gauges, displays etc. that makes suitably impressive industrial noises as you mess with the controls because what kid doesn’t want that? I want that.
