My washing machine also has this AI icon. Not a big deal but it makes me roll my eyes everytime I see it.

That's actually a feature that washing machines have had for a while - "generative washing" - it is where the extra odd socks come from.

My LG one has had smomething like that - a coupkle of years old. Seems quite nifty though - it tumbles the load dry for a while and alledgely uses the patterm of weight shift to determine what kind of load it is - the materials etc - and adjusts the wash accordingly
