"...but I ignored your specific instructions and instead ran the washing machine for 15 hours. That was very wasteful of me, and you're right that was not what I was instructed to do, but I did it anyways."

User: Add enough detergent for this weight of clothes.

Washing machine AI: OK, I have added the correct amount for you, ready to start the wash.

User: You only added fabric softener, I need you to add detergent. Please weigh the clothes and add the detergent based on that weight.

Washing machine AI: Ah, I see what you mean. I have now weighed the clothes and added the needed amount of detergent.

User: you just added more fabric softener. Do not add any more of that, I only need detergent. Please, add detergent.

Washing machine AI: I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before. I have now made sure to add detergent.

User: you added more fabric softener....

See, the solution is just to not use softener. Haven't used it in a decade, haven't missed it either.

Though the AI might come up with a different fuckup.

Sorry, I cannot add any detergent because my detergent sensor is telling me the tray is empty.

There we go. Thanks for being more creative than me.
