Why an AI company cleaned my New York City apartment for free

Look, AI companies spent $2.1 billion on marketing last year according to Statista. Free apartment cleaning is literally just targeted PR to generate buzz around their robotics division.

i used to think free services were always sketchy but after seeing their cleaning robots handle my place i get it now, they're basically testing ur apartment as a real world lab and honestly that works for everyone involved.

lol classic western move trying to get free labor out of ai when tokyo's companies have been automating home cleaning for years without the publicity stunt nonsense.

honestly free cleaning is obviously genius marketing until you realize they probably have cameras everywhere, which is fine actually no wait that's definitely not fine but also my apartment needed it so who am i to judge.
