      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.

          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.

    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?

      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.

    I think the ideal home robot would be two or three separate arms that ride in tracks along the ceiling, long enough to unfold down to the reach the floor. They’d be out of the way, no need to recharge, they can forego all the balancing and walking hardware and software, they’d be very strong and have the leverage of being attached to the house. Most tasks only need one, but some tasks are better performed with two. They could even move furniture. Of course, houses would need to be redesigned to accommodate them. For instance, doors would need to go all the way to the ceiling.

    One step further? Okay, here’s a weird one.

    Another task they could perform is to manipulate a sex doll mannequin while you wear AR goggles to make the doll look like whatever you want. It doesn’t need to be a complicated doll, since all the visual is handled by the goggles. They’d be cheaper, too, you could afford more than one. In… different shapes.
