So what's going on with this thing? Oh, this is my brand new next gen... Wait, how did you get in here? Oh, well, the door was open. I think the bigger question is, what's going on with this thing? This is my new vacuum. It's almost top of the line. It has artificial intelligence. Not to mention, I got a very good deal. And is that all it does, the back and forth thing? So far. This morning, it looked like it was going to go left, but then it didn't. You know, artificial intelligence is supposed to be all about self-learning. But the only thing this thing is learning is how to ruin a carpet.
