    I know we’re probably far from that but damn I I just want a robot to do the dishes. That would honestly be valuable and I’d be willing to pay a lot for it.

    Problem is this robot will probably be on some subscription and soon with ads.

    “Hey Robot please do the dishes”

    “Sure - but have you considered that you’d get cleaner dishes if you bought this detergent?”

    If I could buy it once and own it though, that’d be great.

          Exactly. Not that I don’t appreciate the automation we have, but this is one of the domestic “last mile” problems - along with proper dusting and loading and folding laundry - that need to be solved.
