> simply because robotics and mobile power solutions are still too junior to replace fleshy meatsacks No, it's more perversely ironic than that. It's that the stuff we find "easy" and "boring" (like driving, walking around, picking up a cup and setting it back down) is just stuff eons of evolution has hardcoded into most of the neural network that compromises our brain. The "hard" stuff we pride ourselves on is just the stuff we've begun to be able to do thanks to the smallest and newest addition to our brain, the neocortex. But the reason we think it's hard is because we suck at it, which is because it's an evolutionary novelty. Our computers' evolution is inverted. The "easy", "boring" stuff we hoped robots would do for us, like collecting garbage, is the last thing they'll be able to do and perhaps the only thing left for us to do. :D
