That’s one of the few reasons to leave the house. I’d like dishes and laundry bots first, please.

You mean dishwashers and washing machines?

Yes, but no. I want a robot to load and unload those.

I have been paying my local laundromat to do mu laundry for over a decade now, it’s probably cheaper than youre imagining and sooo worth it.

my household is 6 people, it isn't uncommon to run 3 washing machine loads in a day and days without at least one are rare. I can imagine the convenience, but at this scale it sounds a bit unreasonable.

dishwasher runs at least once a day, at least 80% full, every day, unless we're traveling.

I think "slop" only refers to the output of generative AI systems. bot, crawler, scraper, or spider would be a more apt term for software making (excessive) requests to collect data.
