I generally agree with those that are tired of every appliance getting questionably useful "smarts", but I legit love getting a push notification when our washer or dryer is done. now it's also including tips based on local conditions, which is neat! (it was really humid out today)

my favorite part of having an AI helper on my phone is how it makes small annoying tasks easier
I bought these headphones over a month ago, couldn't remember what I paid, didn't feel like doing the manual search and sift through email receipts so I just asked Gemini to do it

always love when I can put the Pixel camera's long exposure mode to good use
(also love that I can just tap a mode button on my phone and snap a pic to get a shot like this. doing this with a "real" camera requires a lot of extra equipment - tripod, ND filters, etc - and skill)
