Adrian Chiles, a 59-year-old British television presenter known for shows like 'The One Show', recently shared his frustrations with modern smart kitchen appliances, fearing they signal the onset of a robot apocalypse. Chiles purchased a new coffee machine and an oven, both of which he described as overly complicated and intrusive. He lamented the coffee machine's constant notifications and 'cheery messages' that he found irritating. His new oven, equipped with a touchscreen instead of traditional knobs, repeatedly prompted him to connect to broadband, leading to a barrage of alerts that he found overwhelming. Chiles expressed a desire to return to simpler, more straightforward appliances that perform their tasks without unnecessary complications, stating that he wanted to take a 'sledgehammer' to his coffee machine. His comments reflect a growing frustration among consumers regarding the increasing complexity of technology in everyday life.
