What will the Bot be used for? I can see why it'll be useful in the future when we have AGI. But until then, I don't see what advantage it'll have over things built specifically for a particular job, which is already hard enough to achieve.
- elurg 5y agoNot clear that hammering nails or digging holes in the ground requires AGI.
- MauranKilom 5y agoYou'd be surprised how much "deal with unpredicted stuff" construction work entails. Indeed, robots already can hammer nails into walls. Or dig holes. But we still pay construction workers to do these things (well, usually operating tools/machines - but we decidedly don't let those devices operate themselves). And it turns out that the results of them following orders too literally (like a robot would) tends to lead to funny (or tragic) videos clips.
