Why idea of adding simple artificial personalities (independent, private and offline) to household appliances is so strange for normies? I can't find almost any researches or projects and not sure how to explain why I want to start one.

I don't understand what you meant at all.

Do you want to talk with your toaster? That's it.

I talk with objects all the time, happens when you have no humans to talk to, i say it's normal and sane

Before you put that tech in a toaster do we even have a competent non botnet ai personality as it is?

It's called the Uncanny Valley. That's the short answer. The long answer is not enough people are finding it strange and unsettling. Sure, there are jokes about the weird things Alexa does, but the adoption rates of these devices are increasing. And, concerns about your privacy due to the bloated nature of these devices aside, you're putting a semi-human likeness on a device that's commercially sold. That means you may grow attached to it, or respond better to shilling from the company that pumps suggestions into it because it's a human voice or image you interact with instead of a cold "SALE" sign with some stock photo slapped onto it. There's also the implication of guilt-tripping you into keeping or replacing your consumerist garbage (see the sad smiley faces some programs give you on uninstall/window close for a reduced example).

If something gets exploited for muh money doesn't mean it's inherently bad, forming attachments to things is a natural human behavior desu.

>>From what I've seen, the uncanny valley with modern tech and normies is they're OK with talking to their voice assistants, but they get weirded out when they see a analytics feedback loop that correctly categorizes certain things about them. They don't quite understand how much data is being pulled and how it can be used to associate with data from other sources.

I don't want to smalltalk my toaster into making me some toast. I want to pull the thingy and have my toast done in a minute.
