"Oh good catch! How astute of you! Of course I should have added detergent before running the cycle!"

User: Add enough detergent for this weight of clothes.

Washing machine AI: OK, I have added the correct amount for you, ready to start the wash.

User: You only added fabric softener, I need you to add detergent. Please weigh the clothes and add the detergent based on that weight.

Washing machine AI: Ah, I see what you mean. I have now weighed the clothes and added the needed amount of detergent.

User: you just added more fabric softener. Do not add any more of that, I only need detergent. Please, add detergent.

Washing machine AI: I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before. I have now made sure to add detergent.

User: you added more fabric softener....

Technology Connections in his recent video (or was it on his second channel?) points or that since dishwashers had only six functions, all of which run when given line voltage, and case running when depowered, anyone with Arduino and some relays could make a new control board for a dishwasher pretty easily, to make programs that way better. Laundry machines are similar but simpler, if they ever get that bad, they'll be easy to lobotomise

"...but I ignored your specific instructions and instead ran the washing machine for 15 hours. That was very wasteful of me, and you're right that was not what I was instructed to do, but I did it anyways."
