      in theory, if they managed to get them to work properly, and we were to ignore the privacy issues (the lack thereof). a humanoid robot would be amazing and revolutionary.

      it isn’t just for chores though, once they are competent enough to perform productive labour it’ll replace most jobs.

      assume almost all human labour to be a thing of the past, and I doubt those tech rich would want to restructure society so we don’t end up like soylent green.

        Yes, it would be amazing and revolutionary. However, you achieve the same with other designs more economically.

      We interact with the world as humans, it stands to reason a general purpose humanoid robot would be capable of interacting in similar ways (or at least this should be the design goal). This immediately solves several issues. First, it gives us a baseline of understanding in terms of interactions and tasks. There’s no guessing how the device or interface should work. Second, it establishes general capabilities and limitations. There may be more efficient single purpose or limited designs for a subset of general tasks, but as a whole, a humanoid robot is the perfect general purpose approach.

        Dude, humans are not perfect general purpose solutions. That’s why we use machines or animals. Also, I don’t get what you’re saying ‘baseline understanding of interactions and tasks’?

          What should the robots look like then?

          It doesnt matter. This is the next step after Ai to get to dystopia. Cant stop the future.

          How are humans inefficient in design? We’ve managed to rule the planet with our design? Are you even human bro?!
