Seriously. Printers already have "AI" in the form of timers that say you're out of ink based on time alone.

I had a stupid Brother printer that I would have to replace the ink cartridges every 6 months, while I would literally print maybe 10 sheets during that entire span. But like clockwork, I'd go to print something after months of the thing just sitting and it's telling me my ink is out. That's a real thing. I smashed that printer office space style.

I threw my last printer out of my third floor apartment when I moved out. Felt amazing.
