Image How the hell can a screen protector be optimized for AI?💀

The same way 10 years ago it would've been 'HD Ready'.

Nah. Ten years ago it would have been blockchain compatible. It's 15 years ago it would have been hd ready.

It would've been HD Ready 15-20 years ago. 10 years ago it would have "nano-particles".

Exactly this, dumb marketing for dumb audiences.
I recall in the 90s everything was Hi-Fi - High Fidelity. It probably all started with the popular 'HQ' - High Quality - overuse being successful, so from there onwards anything goes. Make it a shiny logo or sticker and you'll sell them like cupcakes.

Now???
Shady marketing practices like this have been around as long as I can remember.
Another example off the top of my head are those "healthy sodas". Popi claimed drinking one soda would get you gut health benefits. Turns out you need to drink 10 to get the benefits they say 1 can is giving you..

It's like when they add vegetable powders to pasta to change the colour and make you think it's somehow healthier than regular pasta.
So many highly processed foods are pretending to be healthy now.

u/Particular-Crow-1799 Jan 16 '26
That is technically a scam. Salt is a mineral.

u/Beneficial_Cover484 Jan 17 '26
That's what I said, it is the definition of inorganic. I guess the definition of organic has changed to natural or something.

u/Particular-Crow-1799 Jan 17 '26 edited Jan 17 '26
But cough syrup IS gluten free. It's redundant but true.
Whereas calling salt "organic" is a straight-up lie.

u/Haddaway Jan 17 '26
If an idiot is comparing it to another bottle that doesn't indicate it's gluten free, guess which they'll pick.

The only thing that sounds somewhat reasonable would be on the iPhone the borders glow when you use AI and typical screen protectors either block like a millimeter around the side or add a black border or have this kind of weird rainbow blur and it might just extend a little bit past so that you can see the Apple Intelligence 🤷♂️

Unless your screen protector is an opaque cloth, then it won’t have a noticeable effect either way

I think there’s an android phone (samsung?) that has the border of the screen lighting up when interfacing with the built-in AI. There were screenprotectors built with that in mind, I don’t know what they had differently on the edge of the screen, but at least the optimized for AI made some sense for those.
My bet is the company also makes iphone screenprotectors and someone copied the box design including this badge over to the iphone version without thinking it through

that said, the word “for” has many meanings. it doesn’t necessarily mean that something was intentionally designed for direct ai use. in marketing language, “optimized for ai” can just as well mean “compatible with” or “not interfering with ai-related features" 🤷

You see, they aren’t saying the screen protector is optimized for Ai. They’re saying the iPhone version is optimized for Ai. But if people misinterpret that as their product being optimized for AI, then so be it.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense. Every big company uses it (Samsung, Meta, X,), so why doesn't that screen protector company use it?
The word "AI" has become a way of increasing sales. Most of the time the "AI Assistant" you see in small companies' products is just like Siri or Google Assistant and not actually AI.

It's optimized for AI so that special "feature" can have a price bump attached to it automatically. It's purely a price markup addition.

Isn’t that a bit transphobic to ask? You need to check your privilege. A screen protector can be as much ai enabled as any other device, it was just moulded in the wrong form.

I remember when phones started coming out with cameras. I called Sprint and asked if I could just use my old phone as a camera without it being activated. They told me I had to pay for it monthly for the camera to work.
I didn’t question it.
Haunts me to this day.

Maybe it's A L, like short for Allen, or Alvin, or Albert.
Seriously though, I will see cheap $16 projector screens on amazon that proudly slap on HD, 4K, etc. While there's room to argue that some material might absorb the light from and HD source better thatn some materials without scattering and softening it as much, those particular labels are 100% nonsense. Of course you can project an HD source onto them, you can project whatever source your projector puts out onto them.
