Marques Brownlee has put up a video about a US$20,000 robot. The company behind it claims it can do a whole range of household tasks 'through the power of AI', and will be delivered next year.
They even demonstrated a prototype to a journalist.
And the entire demonstration was being remotely controlled by a human operator.
And the company admits that, other than one or two simple tasks like opening a door, all tasks will be completed by a remote human operator. Those tasks will need to be scheduled in advance.
So.
Assuming this thing can be put into mass production, a huge if, it's basically a mechanical Turk.
Mark my words.
If this thing makes it to market, and that's a big if, the operators will be in a low-wage country.
It will almost exclusively be a way for rich white Americans to have human servants do their chores, without them being in their house.

the white-washing of the origins of the word #ROBOT have begun, with any reference to slavery taken out of the articles in Wikipedia.
regardless, what’s more obvious about robots & #androids ―given the fascist #techbros culture behind Android OS, roombas & military robots, #AI―, is that robots & androids will not just be a new slave force, but a violent slave force, meant for surveillance, coercion and control.
#billionaires nor techbros are your friends
