AI Robots Now Available from Amazon

Amazon is now offering AI Robots for a mere $ 18,000. They could become a great help for the elderly who need 24/7 personal care. They probably can be trained to cook meals and to give personal physical care for elder humans who may otherwise need to enter a nursing home.
AI unfortunately will/& already has displaced thousands of workers in various fields. Besides factories, AI does legal research, data mining, medical procedures,...to name a few.
 
Has anyone here ever read "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut? If so then you know he predicted this back in 1951 or so.
The player piano and the many music boxes that played "music" without a human doing it. The machines could do it without a human, it just needs energy. Since that time we have refined and refined this process to the present time. Now you tell a computer to make a song, describe its parts and lyrics and the computer will produce a complete song, and it does it so well that many people can't tell it is digital.

We have thousands of machines doing our labor, but where it has become a big problem is how the automatic machine can affect our judgement. That started with the printing press. :)
 
this is interesting. I didn’t under what robots would look like in 15 years. Maybe we could train one to help us when we get old. Who knows what will be available then.

They are already in production and being tested in different environments. They are already being used in other countries like Japan. Currently they do have limitations for some tasks, but tech is advancing quickly to close the gaps. Safety is the key issue when placing them in homes, so they have to get it right, and know exactly what to expect in what may be chaotic environments.
