We don't build robots because the "hard/boring part" for the human is often NOT the hard part for the robot. Take the dishwasher, for example, loading it is very hard for a robot, but easy and quick for a human. Washing the dishes is boring for the human, but a robot gets a sort of sick and twisted pleasure from cycling that dirty water around for hours on end. In fact, we've removed some labor-saving features of houses (laundry chutes went away decades ago, and only recently has "laundry on the bedroom floor" become somewhat standard) for "safety". MAKE DUMBWAITERS GREAT AGAIN | ||

> Washing the dishes is boring for the human I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't mind doing dishes. When we lived in the city, I feel like most of my friends would rather have an in-unit dishwasher than in-unit laundry. For me, doing dishes feels almost meditative. (But I do hate folding/putting away clothes.) | ||

Fire safety is real. Ever seen a burned out house with an untouched bedroom because the door was closed? | ||
