Because AI doesn’t do shit for you, not in reality.
The fantasy was a world in which all needs are met because of AI.
The reality is AI is massacring jobs and being put in charge of systems it is fundamentally unfit to work in. Its also poisoning our environment, skyrocketing energy costs and computer parts, while also being used for mass surveillance.
What is with all this bullshit pro-AI slop propaganda I’ve been seeing on Lemmy, lately? Been seeing lots of mfers invade these communities and spread bullshit.

I’ll only be happy when they make an AI powered robot that can do the dishes and laundry for me

I can’t really get behind a “do all robot” that wanders my house fully autonomously.
What I would prefer is single purpose robots, mounted or bolted in place, designed to do one thing well.
For example, robot arms that put laundry into the laundry machine, or robot arms that do the cooking in the kitchen. Something similar to how Tesla had that autonomous plug in “snake” charger once you parked in your garage.
Having a fully autonomous robot walking around the house is somewhat unnerving to my TBH.

I’ve seen a LOT of dystopian sci-fi with ai robots and not a lot of utopian sci-fi (even a struggling utopia) sort of at all, so yeah, hard agree on the single-purpose non-ai non-IoT robots. We already have so many of them, they just aren’t able to load themselves yet, though many can turn themselves on when programmed.
Also just massively easier to make, fewer things to go wrong. Locomotion, for one. If it never really has to move, or never off track, that massively simplifies the design and maintenance. Now it just needs proximity sensors instead of whole-area mapping technology.

The best solution is to create such a robot with AI yourself and configure it as needed.

You’re right, making a robot that’s more advanced than anything currently available, sounds like a nice and simple weekend project 🙈
