On a brighter take, by doing so many of the menial things for us that consume so much of our days, AI could help us humans re-evaluate or rediscover happiness and fulfillment in life.

This is too soon... we haven't even perfected a Foghorn Leghorn Text-to-Speech algorithm for the AI to use in court.

Previously I had fancy front loading washer and matching dryer with all kinds of features that I'd never need. Within two years both had sensor and gasket problems that I ended up dumping money into fixing. When the problems returned after a year and a half, I put my money into a cheap roper washer and hotpoint dryer, both have performed flawlessly for 7 years since then. The washer might use marginally more water, but I use it to water my yard.

In my experience, simple, old fashioned top loaders, even cheaper ones, last longer with little to no trouble compared to front loaders with features requiring many sensors in addition to the expensive front door gaskets failing. Both get the average wash clean.
