Across all industries, organizations are rapidly embracing generative AI. Among them, makers of home appliances like fridges and ovens. Generative AI in your oven? Why not? Ater all, AI has been creeping into our homes for years (think smart lightbulbs and Alexa) – but thanks to generative AI, these interactions will become even more human and more personal.
Imagine, for example, asking your washing machine whether it’s safe to wash a beloved item of clothing on a certain setting – literally, asking it out loud or via an app. Or you could say to your fridge, “Hey, when am I going to run out of milk?” and it’ll tell you. Integrating generative AI into everyday products could lead to a new era of smart appliances that are not only more adaptive to our needs but also more interactive and engaging.
Have we reached and surpassed peak intellectual curiosity? Did we learn nothing from all the “smart” crap of the last decade? Why is this even an idea someone had, and why weren’t they laughed out of the room, presented with a box of their personal effects, and escorted off the premises by security?
Or, you know, just read the damn label on the clothing that tells you exactly how to wash it. If the article of clothing is so beloved, you’d have either read that or ruined it already.
OR you could open the goddamn door and fucking look. Jesus christ. It’s not like my fat ass doesn’t need the exercise or know where the fridge is.
I’ll admit, sometimes life can get lonely, but if I start talking to the washing machine, lock me the fuck up in the loony bin.
