5 Totally Fabricated but Greatly Needed AI Products From the Mad Scientist in All of Us

There’s no robots, electric vehicles, or AI-driven personal assistants here. Just a little fun.

mad scientist at work on the next great AI product.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) often takes center stage as the harbinger of change. Water-cooler chats about AI typically revolve around its potential to revolutionize industries, make cities and people smarter, singularity, or it’s capabilities to destroy all humanity in an attempt to save the world.

But in our long history of using truly life-altering technology to create something completely frivolous and entertaining and occasionally deadly— like the x-ray shoe fitting machine — we’d like to put out a call to all mad scientists, garage tinkerers, inventors, and mom’s basement dwellers. Please, take these ideas, get to work, and pop out these much needed, sure to be viral social media sensations and incredibly useless products.

We’ll only take a small royalty for our cut.

Try these new AI product ideas:

1. Dream Decoding Pillow — Imagine waking up and getting a playback of your dreams complete with an analysis and dream based to-do list for the day. Embed the pillow with flexible Electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors to monitor your brain activity as you sleep. Link it to your smart phone and you’ll have a complete record of your dreams and brain activity. Plus anyone can sell a pillow.
2. AI-powered Full Length Mirror — Feeling a little fat today? Just ask your mirror to make you look a little slimmer, or more muscular, or younger. Want to feel powerful? Ask your mirror to make you look like a super hero, or your favorite movie character. Need a pep-talk for the day? Ask the mirror to give you a speech from Vince Lombardi, or Tony Robbins, or Matt Foley, motivational speaker.
3. Past Lives Lenses — AI augmented glasses that lay historical or genealogical scenes over the modern world as you take your daily walk or family vacation. Watch the Empire State Building being erected as you walk around in NY. Watch your father play Little League as you sit in the local ball park. They’re not x-ray glasses but they are pretty cool.
4. CBD infused AI wearables — a bracelet that constantly monitors your mood, your anxiety levels, and your body aches and pains, and automatically adjusts and administers the appropriate level of CBD. Advanced models would have a Veg Out setting for combating those really crazy days.
5. The AI Doppelganger — especially useful to those working remote. An AI projected hologram of yourself, sitting at your desk, working. Advanced models would be able to take Zoom calls, answer and ask questions, and give you a full report on the day after you’ve returned from drinking margaritas with your college buds.

Hey, we’re open to other ideas. Let us know. We’re happy to help in anyway possible. And don’t forget our royalty checks.

We’d hate to feel the need to invent an AI-powered debt collector.
