The problem of how to clean a house with robots is completely unsolved. Mopping the floor properly and dusting small objects on shelves will remain an unsolved AI problem for a long time; in the meanwhile, more AI means more exploitation (see Uber, or Mechanical Turk, etc), with people getting their orders from robots. So yeah, somehow Marx is still right, at some point or another that's the modicum of unshakable human work that makes everything works, i.e. gives it any meaning of value. What we're seeing is the good old replacement of "living work" by "dead work" (machinery), to compensate (so far successfully) for the tendency of the rate of profit to fall[1]. Before anyone says that "labour theory of value" has been proven false, please take a few seconds to read in the OP article, or most article on these matters, or the way any capitalist enterprise works: it may be false from some POV but absolutely everyone behaves like if it were true... Weird isn't it? 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendency_of_the_rate_of_profit_to_fall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendency_of_the_rate_of_profit...
