    so that specific LG machine can detect the water hardness, what fabrics are used in the clothes it should launder, what detergents are available?

      Do you have an example of an AI system being deployed to do these things or is it, as I said, pure hypothetical tech bro logic?

      But yeah it basically squirts some water in at the top, then analyzes the water that reaches the bottom (and how much) to infer the fabric types. That same information is then considered when dispensing detergent and fabric softener. Simple sensors and tables

          Yeah it doesn’t seem like a bad washer, just don’t appreciate them jumping on the AI bandwagon. It’s manipulative
