I had to buy a new washing machine last year. It has an AI mode, what ever that is. I have never used the mode.

Mine too. I think it's just a buzzword, like, this would have been called "Smart Wash" five years ago.

as far as I've understood the AI mode on my new-ish washing machine: it's just a renamed "automatic" mode that uses a sensor to measure how heavy the load is and adjusts the cycle length. there is absolutely no AI involved, just an if-statement or equivalent logic gates. I'd guess yours does something similar

On my walk today I passed an LG company van. It had an ad for one of their new AC units on the side. "AI Air"

There's a billboard near my home with an ad for "AI designed glasses".
