Shopping for a new washing machine, and OH MY GOD, WHAT IS EVEN "AI WASH".

@monsieuricon a rebranding exercise by people who are a bit behind the times and still think that the "AI" keyword is a positive selling point.

It probably refers to existing features that predate the AI hype which some fancy washers had where, for example, they would adjust the amount of water used based on the estimated weight of clothing in the drum, or check how transparent the drain water is by shining a light through it to judge whether another rinse cycle is required.

@monsieuricon It's: you wash by hands and the washing machine acts as part of scrap-botnet scrapping git.kernel.org and other resources through your residential internet.

@monsieuricon Take the "AI wash" sticker off very carefully and you will probably find a "Blockchain wash" sticker underneath

Last video was titled this 4 I would buy or so.

@monsieuricon I always thought "works even without Internet" would be the next hot thing for, like ... well anything. But I guess it will be overtaken by "classic functionality (non AI) included".

@monsieuricon It will wash everything perfectly. Or not. You will never know.

"This is not washed properly"

"I'm sorry, you are correct that this is not washed properly. Let me try washing it all again for you."
