AI literally in our soup
This CES 2026, which has just closed its doors, has left us with the jump of lego blocks to electronicsa Lenovo laptop with roll-up screena Roborock vacuum cleaner with legs to climb almost 10 centimeters of unevenness or a HP integrated keyboard computer and above all, a reality: we are going to meet with AI everywhere. And it is not always necessary nor does it make much sense. Yeah, what NVIDIA does with DLSS 4.5 It seems like witchcraft but what need is there for a hair clipper with artificial intelligence. Go ahead and say that the CES is a fair not only to glimpse the best technology of the year, but also to know where the industry is heading and for brands to take advantage of innovation. In this sense, at this CES 2026 we have seen devices with AI of all kinds, but we are not very clear that everyone’s concept is going to come together. AI Barmen Tap to go to the post. Instagram AI Barmen They call him an AI waiter but he is little more than a cocktail vending machine with a built-in camera and an AI cape that essentially takes a look at you to verify that: 1. you are of legal age and 2. you are sober enough to have one more drink. The comments of those who have used it show that it is not the most accurate in the world when determining ages. If the answer to both questions is yes, it prepares a series of spirits for you and you can personalize them. According to the brand, it is already used at private parties. The Infinix AI Moduverse modular smartphone There are those who think that the cell phone’s days are numbered (among them, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman or Elon Musk) and the future is wearables with artificial intelligencebut in the meantime It is clear that using AI on mobile is most useful for tasks such as text summaries and notifications, translations or what I personally do most: pass a YouTube video to Gemini and to synthesize it for me. Well, the manufacturer Infinix has decided to mix gadgets with AI and the modular concept to create AI Moduverse, which are essentially different modules such as a vlogging camera, a gimbal, microphone… all taken by the hair when it comes to justifying having the “AI” in the name until we arrive at an accessory for meetings that is something like a recorder with AI– Connects magnetically and generates AI transcriptions on a small rear screen. Luka AI Cube Luka AI Cube education faces the era of ChatGPT and the presence of mobile phones in classrooms and at home we are dealing with melons like at what age to give your child their first device and we know that great CEOs hide screens in the parenting processthis CES 2026 has left us Luka AI Cubean AI toy that does it all… until your son or daughter can talk to a chatbot in the form of chibi of characters like Harry Potter. This device with recreational and learning potential can be hung around the neck and can be used to talk to him, ask him for advice, use the integrated camera to ask him what he sees and thus use it for tasks such as exploring or learning, also for video calls and location. I don’t know if give a boy or girl access to an LLM It’s the best idea. Glyde Smart Hair Clipper Glyde Who else has a hair clipper at home and knows that even a 4″ shave requires a little care and attention. For things like gradients, not just anything works, so Glyde has decided to go one step further with a device that dynamically adjusts cut proximity using AI. The icing on the cake is the mask you have to wear so your cousin can cut your hair properly. And be careful because it has more functions such as a trainer with real-time AI that gives you feedback and the firm does not want to stop there, it is working to incorporate voice controls and hairstyle recommendations. The digital frame Fraimic Fraimic Digital frames are not a novelty at all, in fact, they are already a classic for displaying photographs of your loved ones, memories and even your favorite works of art. Yeah, generating images by AI is very goodbut having a frame with an E-Ink screen, microphone and voice control to describe the image you want the AI to generate for you is still overkill. What of fill your house with cameras, microphones, internet and artificial intelligence (in this case, OpenAI’s GPT Image 1.5) doesn’t seem like the best idea from a privacy point of view. And if you ask me, from practicality, neither. Furthermore, with all the technology it integrates, it cannot be cheap either: from 349 euros with 100 generations of images per year. If you want more, just go to checkout. The worst of all is that the screen looks great and the consumption is so optimized that it lasts for years, so as a digital frame alone it would be a very interesting product. Samsung Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub Samsung has presented its Bespoke AI Family Hub, a family of household appliances equipped with artificial intelligence. Among them, a refrigerator. It shows you a personalized summary of your agenda and activities, monitors your consumption patterns, recommends recipes, and you can open and close the door with your voice. The refrigerator may have won the “CES Innovation Awards 2026” award, but it also appeared among “Worst in Show” according to a group of critics, consumer and privacy advocates (with people from Consumer Reports, Back Market or iFixit). Their verdict on this refrigerator is that “voice controls, constant Internet connection and built-in advertising could make what is normally a simple appliance more prone to breaking, harder to use and more expensive to repair.” In the demos of the fair it was seen … Read more
