I recall that folding clothes does turn out to be a surprisingly challenging project for an autonomous machine—IIRC the issue is that the algorithms can’t grok *principles* only patterns, so e.g. if it’s trained on t-shirts it will completely fail on encountering one with long sleeves or a tank top.

@tkinias @MayInToronto I'm not surprised. It can even get the folds of fabric right when it's generating it digitally.

Totally agree BTW that, even if this is a hard task for algorithms, figuring out how to do my laundry would be a *way* better use of “AI” than trying to replace writers and artists...
