    I’m just pointing this out, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who will…

    We have machines to do the laundry and dishes for us already. We just have to set them up (put stuff in them) and they do the job for us.

    When was the last time you saw someone get out the washing board?

      That still requires gathering the dirty items together, loading/unloading, keeping track of when it is full/time to run. People saying this mean they want a robot like Rosie from the Jetsons to take care of that sort of housekeeping, not for a machine that makes the task easier to do themself.

      Edit: to be clear, I don’t think a washer machine or dishwasher is a hassle and problem that needs solving, but that doesn’t take away from the message of “AI should help make life easier, not replace the creative outlets additional free time should allow”
