Sure, today’s rice cookers are really a helpful invention, especially to cultures with a high rice dependency factor. So it is only logical to apply the newest AI technology to make cooking rice even more exciting and simple. According to The Edge Daily that’s exactly what Philips did, and their new flagship rice cooker “features automatic artificial intelligence controls that enables it to cook a variety of rice recipes including claypot rice, cakes, congee and soups at the touch of a button.”

Philips did not mention a behavioral model that activates when the owner fails to clean her rice cooker or neglect its needs otherwise, the cooker subsequently adds an undisclosed substance to the rice, to keep women who are “housewives or aspire to be great housewives” in line.

This thoughtless integration of AI into commonplace appliances might be another step to AI world domination. As we’ve shown recently, the male population will be kept in check by love-robots. Now Philips delivers the solution for the remaining half of humankind, enslaved by evil rice cooker overlords women will be forced to work in the rice cultivation industry.

No, really, that’s how it’s going to happen!
