If your toaster burns your breakfast bread, Do you ultimately blame "it"?

You gdt mad, swear at it, maybe even throw it to the wall on a git of rage but, at the end of the day, deep inside you still know you screwed.



Devices can be faulty and technology can be inappropriate.


If I bought an AI powered toaster that allows me to select a desired shade of toast, I select light golden brown, and it burns my toast, I certainly do blame “it”.

I wouldn’t throw it against a wall because I’m not a psychopath, but I would demand my money back.
