I keep seeing this, but there's nothing special about plumbing compared to any other manual job requiring AGI and a humanoid robot. These include a huge umbrella of jobs e.g. construction, police, etc

I just see pluming as a manual labor job that encompasses so much of the challenges AI and robotics are on the opposite side of solving. I know other manual labor jobs share in complex challenges as well but this seems to stick out. Moreover, to quote GPT-3, 'Plumbers require a combination of manual dexterity and technical knowledge, which can be difficult for robots to replicate. Additionally, plumbing work often involves working in tight spaces, making it challenging for robots to access and maneuver in these environments. Furthermore, the unpredictable nature of plumbing problems and the need for critical thinking and problem-solving skills make it difficult for robots to fully replace plumbers.'

I don’t think my grandchildren’s grandchildren will see a world with capable plumbing robots.
