My husband and I were also thinking that it was a metaphor for an old age home. We send elderly people away to places where they are separate from the world and left to pass on. Klara was meant to be very human and she is sitting in her special place until she passes on like an elderly woman in a home.
I think it is interesting that, in the end, the AF was experiencing life as humans do. Her thinking abilities have declined as has her mobility. She is left with muddled memories, yet a wisdom that comes from being around a long time. I have a Smart Coffeemaker, but I run it with an app, a bit different from the AF who was programmed to think, not just in the present, but who can remember the past, though like a human, not perfectly well.
Yes that is his final message -- that like an elderly woman in a nursing home Klara is diminished in her ability to do things and to remember things. She is more humanlike than machinelike.
Get a better toaster! Mine seem to last a decade or more.
I welcome recommendations on toasters. All of mine have had serious problems.
