I think they still make blenders like these, don't they? I'm getting old, so I tend to think of this sort of blender as an anachronism. There'd be a selection of speeds, given optimistic names to tell them apart, when really there was not much difference between (say) "mix" and "blend", other than the blades turning a bit faster. They could simply have put numbers on the buttons (probably you can find blender models just like that) but instead they tried to give you some illusion that you had a lot more fine control over your food-blending than you really did.
Now imagine this, only it's a contemporary corporate-developed AI that's controlling the motor speed, and an AI that came up with the names on the buttons.
According to our current crop of techlords, doing this would be innovation. The greatest of innovations, in fact—the innovation of innovations. The Singularity™ might well become a reality with the help of an AI-assisted blender. It wouldn't blend (or grate or frappé) any better than the old Osterizer, but it would be innovative, and you'd be "dumb" and "stupid" if you didn't support investing millions of dollars in developing this innovative new blender. And of course there'd be an IP stack in it, so the AI would always be getting updated. Your blender would be getting smarter, more innovative, all the time!
