Generative AI Is Coming To Your Home Appliances (www.forbes.com)

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.

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.

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.
