AIwashing is the cheeky cousin of greenwashing, where everything from dish soap to socks masquerades as eco-friendly. In the AI realm, it’s not about saving the planet but convincing you that your blender has a PhD in smoothie optimisation. Even a packet of basmati will sound techie. AIwashing is the ultimate upgrade – or, at least, the stilted smarties in marketing departments hope you’ll think so. So, next time your blender brags about its ML prowess, just remember: it’s not plotting world domination; it’s just trying not to get stuck on that stubborn ice cube. Welcome to the age of AIwashing, where even your fridge might claim to know your dietary aspirations better than you do.
