the real promise of large language models is that before people were looking too closely, datasets had been procured in questionable ways. so then users can have access to medical data based on doctor's emails and word documents on their pc. which would have a lot of value. no it has become a glorified search engine.
I'm middle aged and home appliances are the luxury purchase. Irons, ovens, vacuums, everything changed. But laundry didn't.
I live near the equator, so dryers are a luxury and clotheslines are the norm. We still don't buy dryers. Not even so much for the cost, but because they damage clothes in a way.
And even with Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow promoting laundromats as the key to financial independence, they're not used significantly more than they were in the past.
