Thankfully I already have common sense enough not to put a household robot in my home. It will certainly be used to collect as much data on what goes on inside my house as possible and send that back to at least one company who will leverage that data against me.
Even the humble Roomba has already been looked at as a spy for selling maps of people's houses (https://gizmodo.com/roombas-next-big-step-is-selling-maps-of-your-home-to-t-1797187829 https://gizmodo.com/roombas-next-big-step-is-selling-maps-of...) and took photos of a woman on the toilet which were leaked online (https://www.businessinsider.com/roomba-photos-recorded-bathroom-leaked-from-test-units-irobot-says-2022-12?op=1 https://www.businessinsider.com/roomba-photos-recorded-bathr...)
No way in hell would I bring a robot butler into my home unless I can be certain that it won't be collecting and leaking sensitive information about my life/household to others. We have too much of that going on as it is.
