I agree. Like a washing machine when it was first introduced is true automation as it washed clothes for you instead of you hand washing it. Taking the washing machine as an example, I would not consider it automation if I had my maid hand wash my clothes instead of me hand washing them. Washing machines, the stove (I don't need to maintain a fire, etc), a water heater are past robots/automation. But what about all new automations/robots of this generation?
