These are all highly specialized tasks. Useful, but not general enough to replace a conscious human being. > It won't be long before you can have a robot that will understand "fold the laundry" Who the hell wants to spend their life folding laundry anyway? Some people do only because that is what their circumstances dictate. There's no reason they should if we have the means to alleviate them of such trivial "work." It's my understanding that we already have these devices. They're slow as molasses but the efficiency of not having a human do it is great. Good. We're all better off.
