Why would you not just get a roommate? Way cheaper than a robot.

Probably paying because investing money into ppl usually results in a net gain for everyone as they add that money back into the economy.

Greed is a cultural sickness and not a natural state of humanity.

I’m sure. But you need raw materials to build a physical robot to do that is my main point.

There’s no such hurdle with, say, automating a spreadsheet.

I think there’s going to be a massive recognition of the simple fact that 90% of human value in jobs is simply showing up in person over the next ten years. And GPT will only make that more evident.

It will be able to handle things like routine email and software stuff.

But “pick up a box and move it 100 feet” is not something it’ll be able to do because the raw materials/expenses to put a body onto GPT’s brain will be prohibitively expensive en masse.
