Buying Guide for the Best Dishwashers
- Number of Place Settings: One of the major things that needs to be considered while buying a dishwasher is the standard place setting that can vary from 12 to 14 places. As per international standards, one place setting consists of the following items – dinner and dessert plates, dessert spoons, soup plates and spoons, glass, cup, saucer, teaspoon, knife, fork, etc. Place settings also help determine the capacity of a dishwasher.
- Cycle Option: It is always better to go for a dishwasher that offers multiple cycle options such as prowash, smartwash, and sensors bottom line, etc. Some of the best dishwashers also feature half load or eco-cycle that are good enough to wash a few dishes, thus saving on water, energy, and money.
- Design Material: Since steel is more durable than plastic, it is always better to go for a dishwasher with steel baskets inside. Steel baskets are corrosion resistant and have a long life. Also, dishwashers with variable basket options such as height adjustments are known to be the best dishwashers.
- Noise: Dishwashers in general make loud noise, but normally the high-end models are sound insulated and make lesser noise when compared to others. Some of the best dishwashers also boast of delivering virtually silent performance.
- Others: Apart from these important points, there are some other features like touch controls, sensors, and anti-flooding options that need to be considered before choosing a dishwasher.

Microsoft Partners With Inworld to Bring AI Game Development Tools to Xbox
“At Xbox, we believe that with better tools, creators can make even more extraordinary games,” Haiyan Zhang, GM, Xbox Gaming AI, said in a blog post. “This partnership will bring together: Inworld’s expertise in working with generative AI models for character development, Microsoft’s cutting-edge cloud-based AI solutions including Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft Research’s technical insights into the future of play, and Team Xbox’s strengths in revolutionizing accessible and responsible creator tools for all developers.”
The aforementioned AI design copilot is a toolset that will help game designers turn prompts into scripts and dialogue trees. In contrast, the character runtime will enable dynamically generated plot beats and quests. We’ve already seen heavy AI integration in games by way of procedural generation — a more recent example being the 1000+ planets in Starfield. Not to mention, enemy AI has been around for way longer.
Inworld made headlines in August when it launched a modded story mode for Grand Theft Auto V, Sentient Streets, in which players had to investigate the rise of a bizarre AI-worshipping cult — a segment loaded with characters that spoke in AI-generated dialogue, on the fly. The mod was later taken down by publisher Take-Two, leaving a permanent strike on the creator Bloc’s YouTube channel. As per The Verge, Inworld’s AI technology can also be used for narration in top-down RPGs to warn players about any events awaiting off-screen and respond to questions like we’ve seen in the past year with AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Bing Chat. Microsoft has also been heavily banking on artificial intelligence, having made a $10 billion (about Rs. 83,254 crore) investment in OpenAI. The company has also integrated AI tools into its popular suite of services and also added an AI copilot to Windows.
Despite being a Microsoft-affiliated AI toolset, it would be interesting to see whether titles using them will be allowed to thrive on other platforms. In July, Valve claimed that it would be cracking down on games that included AI-generated assets if the developer didn’t own the copyright to the piece of art. For the uninitiated, when you insert a prompt to create something in AI, the software simply repurposes existing assets found online and mushes them together — basically stealing from other artists and writers without appropriate commercial licenses. Infringing them would lead to the game not being distributed on Steam, forcing the developers to seek proper licenses for the asset by reaching out to the AI companies involved. It’s unclear how Microsoft’s partnership will play out — as long as AI content is being used as a catalyst to innovate and create something new, it should be fine.
