Sharp Slim Cam VHS camcorder with “Artificial Intelligence System” printed across the side like a promise.
I spotted this at a thrift store in Temecula.A VHS camcorder stamped in gold like it is about to understand what you are filming. What it actually does is basic by today’s standards. It adjusts the light, balances the color, and tries to keep the image from falling apart while you watch it back on a CRT. You sit there nudging the tracking until the static settles into something barely watchable.That was it.And honestly, it is hard not to like. The cutting edge optimism of it. Calling it artificial intelligence just because the machine could help a little.
