I'm looking forward to the appliances that connect to a power source built into the counter top.
Seems like most people are pushing back on this trend.
"You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" -WEF
and if you're not happy… the Soylent Green vat will await you
Give me a robot that loads a dishwasher properly and cleans up after me. 😂
In this entire video, I saw one thing that I could genuinely say 'wow, I definitely would love that' and that's the inductive power small appliances. I love the idea of just putting my toaster,/blender/food processor on a designated area, and it starts right up. I think that could change how we design kitchens, so you don't have to have an outlet every 24 inches.
The appliances with the built in voice assistance that don't use google or Alexa sound great. I'm assuming they don't need internet. Automation without loss of privacy is definitely the way to go.
Lol I am 100% not paying a monthly subscription for a robot to make me fat. This is literally moronic. Nope.
Yawn. I feel sorry for the amount of time/money/energy it took to make this.
Thanks, with worsening migraines, that adaptive technology (voice command) caught my interest. The allergen detector would be a lifesaver for parents if it were smaller. Maybe a button for kids with peanut allergies.
We’re moving backwards
Last thing I need is an appliance that won't work because I refuse to give it the password to my WIFI.
How about an appliance that can fix itself or better yet, NOT BREAK.
I am happy to report that, at age 65, neither robots nor AI-enabled technologies will ever enter my kitchen. Sorry I see nothing helpful in any of these.
Famous last words…the machines will not take my job😢
No thanks, AI can stay out of my kitchen!
And just like Rosie of “The Jetsons”, all these gadgets will malfunction at some point in time.
I gave this a shot but quickly started skipping ahead, hoping to see something useful, and then gave up after seeing it was nothing but half-baked AI.
I do NOT want my appliances connected. AI is not wanted in my kitchen! Or anywhere in my home!
Slap AI on everything with a bunch of sensors just ride the wave… Typical business stuff smh
That's the 2nd demo of that knife where it's clear the reviewer doesn't detect a meaningful difference, if at all lol. You know it has to be bad when they say "yeah, um…I'm not getting much of a difference" hahha
Please ask AI how it will replace all the water it is using up. This is just awful
