Laundry and dishes don't pay well. Art does, but only once in a great while, and AI gives you a ton of attempts for little cost. Since rapid iteration is the biggest strength of advanced computing, people just invented cultural pollution machines in the hope of striking it rich.

- mbg721 2y agoSure, but the AI fails as much as it needs to, and nobody starves. It can have awful output forever. That's the polluting machine.
- rnd0 2y agoLaundry and dishes aren't a source of revenue generation; that's why art is prioritized (it earns money, and reduces the costs of hiring creatives) whereas dishes and laundry doesn't earn startups cash nor is it worth eliminating the cost of.
- winternett 2y agoIf I could afford to pay for a reasonably priced Ai laundry & delivery service I would surely do it. If it was done by a robot that also cooked basic meals and cleaned my house, that would be invaluable to not just me, but many. A company that ran that service properly and reliably would likely be very successful. That would likely free many of the people in maid and janitorial jobs to work within the companies that run those services as inspectors and managers instead of in the field... This is how the model works, not just by simply saying that category of work isn't profitable... A work hammer (the tool) doesn't profit, but the company that makes and sells it en mass (Like Stanley inc. or Craftsman) does.
