        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…

      • “…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.”
