The following sounds like a "where's my flying car" objection, but is founded upon a desire to avoid seeing another AI Winter. I don't need to see AI beat me, I just want to see AI doing the following, in an economically feasible package that is amenable to mass production, so we can concentrate human jobs on value-added activities like 1:1 teacher:student ratio education: * wash dishes, especially baby bottles and odd-shaped utensils * mow and edge the lawn, trim bushes, and dig up weeds * tidy up clutter in the house * treat stains, wash clothing and linens, fold, iron, starch, and put away clothes, towels, and linens * pick delicate fruits, vegetables and nuts at the peak of ripeness or readiness * wash vegetables and fruit, prep them as needed for recipes * plan, purchase and cook a meal with substitutions where necessary, set a table and clear it * vacuum, sweep, mop and polish floors and stairs, scrubbing where needed to get that spot of ink off the floor * dust all shelves, ceiling fans, and contents of shelves * sweep and wash down all windows and siding * open and file physical mail * once a month replace A/C filters, turn water valve knobs, and check water heater anode * general household repairs like replace a fuse, replace a bulb, fix a squeaky door The list goes on, but hopefully the idea is clear: AI is far from offering a generalized robot, and automation's marketing hype is very close to claiming such a breakthrough in articles like this, when the reality is closer to single-purpose or limited-use, expensive devices with limited lifespans.
