Generative AI Is Coming To Your Home Appliances

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.

Hard pass. I didn't need a Wi-Fi toaster, I don't need this either.

PronHub on my refrigerator has been a lifesaver though. That is the pinnacle achievement of a lifetime.

What? I’m shaking the salad dressing?

Why are you….?
What are you…..?
Never mind. I don’t want to know.

They are jerking off to the naked people on their refrigerator and sound quite happy about it, so why don’t you keep your prudish thoughts to yourself?

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't wash that. This wardrobe is too important for you to jeopardize it."

According to the first law I cannot allow you to wash that shirt, nor am I allowed, through inaction, to let you wash it elsewhere.

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?

asking your washing machine whether it’s safe to wash a beloved item of clothing on a certain setting

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 say to your fridge, “Hey, when am I going to run out of milk?"

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.

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.

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.

Dishwashers and toaster ovens are going to become subscription items

You get 10 wash cycles a month

Article even threatens that appliances will order parts snd servicing themselves. This shit is insane.

lastunusedusername2 ,

I'm imagining it authoritatively telling me it's safe to wash even though it has no idea.

spujb ,

this format of headline needs to die.

“coming to your appliances” no the hell it’s not it’s coming to appliances on the market. which you can choose to buy, or install the app onto.

feels like fatalist manipulation tactics to subconsciously get you to accept that replacing appliances every two years is normal.

VeganCheesecake ,

I mean, it's Forbes. They probably assume you lease your appliances and have them replaced with the hot new model every 12 Months, or some shit.

BearOfaTime ,

Lol, right?

My microwave was made in 96. Washing machine in 2000.

Luisp ,

Jokes on you, I can't afford them

spearz ,

Does anyone want any toast?

I'd make an exception for that toaster though.

This is so fucking stupid it's almost painful.

VeganCheesecake , (edited )

If you really want that for some reason, that sounds like a job for one AI Smart Assistant. Doing it by having a different App and LLM implementation for every appliance seems stupid in so many ways.

Especially if they don't run them local, but essentially bundle the completely different service of a cloud hosted LLM with a fucking Tumble Dryer.

Hell yeah, I want my appliances to misinterpret my commands and hallucinate functions they aren't capable of.

The GREAT Google assistant can't even call a contact on my list if it has a space in its name, I think I'll wait.

AI generated recipes

Every AI generated recipe I've seen has been fucked up. Either the ratios are wrong, they miss out or add ingredients, give incorrect temps and cook times, etc.

But I guess if you're terrible at cooking, you wouldn't notice.

BearOfaTime ,

Even human generated recipes are often "wrong", either actually wrong (like no, garlic doesn't go into a hot pan with onions that need sweating, they'll burn) or just wrong from a typo - like saying 1 tablespoon of a strong spice instead of 1 teaspoon.

Not if I can help it. If it's anything like "internet of things" it'll be a dumb gimmick relegated to some overpriced gadgets that I don't want anyway.
