Robotics researchers agree but they can't get it to work yet. Simple tasks as cleaning tables, loading dishwasher and folding laundry have been tried for the last two decades with very limited success. The ones that do succeed are usually tele-operated for a demo.

Not to mention if it does happen and it does make it to consumers these robots will be insanely expensive to make and maintain. People going "why doesn't AI just work on physical labor?!" can't seem to understand that software is a million times easier and cheaper to make

It's not like scientists woke up one day and said DAMN we need to make robots take away fun jobs ans nothing else. It's just where machine learning took us.
