does no-one here know about washing machines with AI?

Smart washing machines are a disappointment. They solve very few of the problems I care about as a greedy person.
I don't need alerts on my phone when my clothes are done washing. I can manually set a water level.
What would be cool is putting your dirty clothes in a machine and coming back to a pile of clean, dry, folded laundry.
I once had such a device from ACME but one time when I had to chase away a coyote while on E, I left it on and it folded all my stuff 1000 times into tiny dots.
oh, sure, but still - they have "AI". which is what the useless person wanted.
Looks like HAL9000 we deserve, not the HAL9000 that we need...
