We don't even have a robot than can effectively scrub toilets, if they aren't designed for self-cleaning.

Some will smile at the triviality of such things, but if you solve that you will get very rich. It surely is not at all trivial to solve.

Currently I don't think we can even replace any normal clerk for any slightly more complex problem yet. Programming is essentially a form of translation and these fields will probably change in they get more supplemental tools.

I first thought artists will suffer from AI and perhaps some will be taken advantage off. On the other hand people seem to dislike AI generated content.




Of course we have a machine that scrubs toilets. It only costs minimum wage to operate.
