The first use of AI I’ve seen that truly made me happy.
Intro from the original article:
People are vibe coding their way to better TVs
Users are getting fed up with the barrage of ads and data tracking on TVs and are looking to AI vibe coding for the answer.
Vibe coding has reached TVs. Social media is awash with posts from people using LLMs and open-source tools to remove ads and tracking, trim bloat so the OS runs faster, and even completely change the look and organization of their homescreens. While a lot of it is fun — one user turned their TV homescreen into a Pokémon town — I think there’s a level of frustration behind it, too. And TV companies should take notice.
I’m going to wait one year before I do anything but these projects do look satisfying.
Yeah I’m not ready to let AI modify a daily driver but I probably have an old FireTV stick laying around that I won’t ever use again. I’d do it for something like that.
