      Oh sweet baby jesus no it is not. The robot would load the dishes into the the dishwashing machine, then put the clean dishes away when the dishwashing cycle is complete.

          Right? Dancing humans and fighting humans and stripping humans are already awesome.

          I want a sink full of dirty dishes to turn in to a cabinet full of clean dishes, and a laundry basket full of dirty clothes to turn into a drawer full of clean, folded clothes.

          Why is humanity even bothering anymore? Nobody asked for a robot that writes novels and paints. Just shut it all down. Fuck this.

            The only even remotely useful part of ai anything is the “I can’t be bothered to write this” level of code problem.

        • It’s not so doable as it turns out. The whole dancing routine can be preprogrammed once you figure out balancing and gross motor skills, which they did. But the dishes is fine motor skill, spatial awareness, object manipulation. It would be a lot easier if each plate, utensils and cooking ware would have a grip for robot grippers and a QR code, with a fixed cubby in the dish washer and cabinet. Lacking that, a lot more work needs to be done in better robot hands, perception, reasoning and manipulation.

        Just get two dish washers. Take the clean dishes out of one to use, then put them in the other when done. When full wash, then repeat.

          Actually you can 100% have a permanent home for 8 dishes, 8 bowls, 8 glasses, 8 coffee cups, and 8 forks/knives/spoons in the dishwasher and just leave them there. Just put the ones you used that day back in their place and turn the dishwasher on when you go to bed.

    Sexbots are a lot easier though, all they have to do is lie there, take it, and tell us what we want to hear. LLMs are already reasonably good at the last bit.

      “You’re absolutely right, there is no such sex move referred to as The Cincinnati Slapshot, and it was wrong of me to request that. If you like, I can suggest a different move instead?”

    The only people who could afford them already have human servants. They just want sex dolls. And friends. Robots to admire their “wit”.

      Not to burst your bubble, but they don’t want dolls. That’s a service that was originally provided by Epstein, now whoever has become his successor.

      Sure, but the dishes, laundry, and putting it away was a nice addition. Throw in a lawn and garden bot, and a I’ll make dinner if your to busy bot… and I wouldn’t have to remember the chicken is infact still in the freezer 10 minutes before I intended to eat it, with a plan that originally included me making something that took an hour and a half.

          I looked at a few, but the place I rent is about an acre (1.06 or so), and the building on the acre covers like none of it (like 960sqft lol) Toss in the drainage ditches by road and being in a constant flooding warning recently I figure I need to wait. I saw a cool one that said it MAYBE could do the hills if I mowed them short first, then just had it auto keep thrm short all the time. But that thing was about $3000 by the time I set up the solar charging station and what not. Ended up just getting a cheap lawnmower cause I didn’t have the money to chance spending all of that and still not being able to get the lawn mowed. Also I figure I’d not realize it rained last night and the robot would go about it’s schedule straight into the water in the drainage ditch or something.

        Still not commercially available unfortunately. Also they not showing tons of other things like plumbing, electrical, concrete foundation, sewer etc, mechanical. None of that stuff is automated. I want heavy duty robot that can pour concrete and do entire building cycle so I can just move in

    Sex bots make zero sense to me.

    The entire appeal of sex is that there’s another person involved! Two (or more) humans working together to make each other feel good!

    Like, if you’re not going to have another real human involved, why not just a vibrator/dildo/fleshlight?

      It’s essentially a fancy sex toy on the same level of a vibrator. That said there’s a fair amount of people who seem to struggle to find mates to have sex with and have even turned to using or even loving dolls.

      Allow me to introduce the incels.

      Hard to get that experience when no one wants to be around you at all, let alone naked.

      Some people don’t work well with the conditions set by others, or work well with others at all. They want a human, but can’t make it happen. So a robot that doesn’t say no, as creepy as that is, will be what some demand. A self-driven device like a fleshlight isn’t going to fit their desire.
