Don't worry, the hype will die sooner than later, just like with cryptocurrencies. What will remain are the power and resource hungry statistical models doing nice work in some specific domains, some long faces and some people having made a bunch of money from it. But yeah, the term also makes me angry, that's why I started referring to them as statistical models.
Am I the only one seeing a parallel between the spectrum planned <-> "free"-market economy and classical algorithm <-> statistical model/ML? It seems that some people prefer to have some magic invisible handle their problems instead of doing the tough work. I'm not saying that there is not space for both but we seem to be leaning on the magic side a bit too much lately.
You could investigate PVB which can be smoothed. It does soften at a low temperature though so you can't cook it or wash it in the dish washer. If it's well smoothed you can wash it with warm water and soap though.
Interesting technology those peltier dehumidifiers. I had never heard of them.
My question would be about efficiency. I could imagine this working well in a very humid environment to save your filament.
From my limited understanding of the physics of wet air I would imagine that it's tough to remove humidity via condensation when the air is already pretty dry.
Why not just remove the spool after your last job of the day and store it in a plastic zip-lock bag? That saves power, production of a peletier dehumidifier and cost of buying one. I do this and never had trouble with wet filament.
I checked the pinout with a multimeter yesterday and the don't seem to be the same. I'm pretty sure this is the issue. Thanks for mentioning pinout as a source of issues.
It's a very loaded term and seems to imply AGI for many.
