I'm curious if anyone is willing to illuminate why this subject stirs such passion. People can be stupid, but wireless AI does not appear to be inherently so.
I don't know of anyone who uses an air integrated computer to tell them when to breathe, so I'm really not sure where those remarks are coming from.
Some of the people I dive with are beyond competent and don't need to be told when/how to breathe either. Some of them have a mind boggling consumption rate (>2 hours on a single 63cf tank). They all have a regular SPG in addition to wireless. I don't know if the wireless is more just for their logging or what. They definitely would NOT be lost without it. It's a redundancy that also puts it on their wrist with everything else they need to read. Could they just as easily reach to their side and look at their glass? Sure.
In my eyes and mind the people I dive with are, for all intents and purposes, tech divers. But where we dive we're restricted to certain things by local rules that keep them from spreading their tech wings full span.
I'm not a tech diver so I can't speak with any authority on what is and isn't needed. I supposed AI is a point of failure, but everything can potentially fail. It's all made by people and used by people who make errors. As far as I understand, tech diving includes a lot of redundancy. AI + an SPG is just that. So why it has no place in tech, I'm not sure.
