Absolutely. We've been great at building AI in software, but hardware is still absolutely lacking. Robots are nowhere near usable for even simple tasks, at least if they don't follow the same pattern each time. Just look at households, there's still no robot that can empty a dishwasher reliably (unless maybe you build a specialized one for just that task), while it's a task much simpler than what GPT-4 can perform on the software side.
- mlboss 4y agoI read somewhere that two dishwashers are the solution. Put dirty dishes in one and pick clean from another one. Then switch roles. No robot needed
- dx034 4y agoDishwashers were just an unimportant example. Construction, retail and logistics are examples where there's a lot of very simple tasks that robots cannot perform and that pay very poorly.
