We have a maid. She is nice, we pay her fairly and she can also vacuum clean the stairs. She has the keys of the house, so, she can also clean take care of the plants when our vacations are not overlapping. She can also wash the floor.
Oh, and a good thing, this is another person we trust to take care of the house in emergency when we are not here, she lives 500m from our house, we cultivate social relationships at the "village" level. This makes a nice smile and short conversation when we meet here and there.
So, for us, no robots, but for a reason not exactly the same as your reasons. We prefer to trust people.
Imagine a world where everything is automated, you just use stuff which are autonomously delivered to your door and you work from home, you order your pizza with an app, etc.. You are alone.
- animal531 10y agoYou remind me of The Fifth Element, when the main bad guy starts choking on a piece of fruit and doesn't have a back slapping robot among his legion of other robots. The other side of the coin is also in security, people by nature make your house less secured (albeit based on your relationship with them, the area, country and so forth).
