> There are only a very few things that humans can still do with more economic effectiveness than machines: drive vehicles, pick fruit, clean houses, and fold shirts. Really, that's about it.
if by clean house you also mean hvac, plumber, and handyman I'm still waiting for robots to do that because they charge an arm and a leg in large cities
- lisper 8y agoThat's a good point. I should have included construction in the list. [EDIT] On second thought, I've decided that I will not concede construction. My list was supposed to be a post-AI list (though I concede I did not make this sufficiently clear). I think in 20-30 years it's very likely that we'll have robots that can do most construction and repair jobs, if for no other reason that by then most products will be designed to be either robotically repaired or disposable.
