I love Google Gemini — but not on a screen, in my fridge
 

Before you judge me too harshly, let me get this out of the way: I don’t ever want my washing machine or dryer connected to an app. I couldn’t care less about checking laundry status on my phone or talking to my appliances just because I can.

And yet, here I am, living in a home with smart speakers scattered across rooms, talking to a voice assistant to get small things done no matter where I am. Somehow, without intending to, I got used to the idea of AI help available around me, even if I were in my room or in the car. And as we move towards a more conversational future with Gemini and Alexa Plus, I’ve started to believe that the future of smart homes isn’t more gadgets but smart intelligence that’s everywhere.
