I’m a working parent. My children love cleaning the house with myself and my partner, it’s a great game of cooperation. Watching a robot move around, not so much.
I have also never wished for a way to change the radio with voice commands. I’ve seen friends do this and it’s like seeing people ride a unicycle - novel, but it doesn’t offer me anything of value. And of course, the privacy trade off isn’t worth it.
- Broken_Hippo 4y agoJust because you wouldn't want it doesn't mean that it won't be very useful for someone else. And for the robot, I'm that person simply because I absolutely loathe housework. I only do it because there isn't a reasonable choice, and I'm very happy to not have been born 100 years earlier. I personally don't want to talk to my appliances any more than I want to talk on the phone. But to be absolutely honest, I know I carry a personal surveillance device around with me. I don't generally want more of it - but if I had a reason for voice commands - and a number of things might fit, so long as it required both hands and took some time - I might change my mind. And if they don't sell the robot vacuum without the camera, I'll probably ignore that. Depending.
