You've probably heard ad nauseam how plastic sucks. How it's bad for you. How it's bad for the planet. How there are microplastics in what you drink. Plastic is probably choking a turtle right now. The fish fry you consumed once had a buffet plastic. And yet, wherever you look, plastic is all around you. And underneath you. Plastic doesn't degrade.

And despite all the sustainability and recycling efforts, there's a feeling that plastic is permanent and it's here to stay. It's said that less than 10% of the plastic ever produced has been recycled. Maybe, that's a cynical perspective, but, how much has truly changed to topple the dominance of plastic?

This time, envision yourself stepping into a futuristic-looking pod. You close your eyes and 15 minutes later, you're completely clean, refreshed and even mentally, you're super rejuvenated. In those 15 minutes, you haven't scrubbed yourself, you didn't wait for the water to get hot or for a tub to fill, you didn't have to lather. Because you just had an AI-powered cleansing experience. Who'd have thought AI would apply when you were in your birthday suit?
