I was thinking this again just yesterday. Do my laundry correctly and get it put away. Organized my storage. Clean the bathroom. Do the dishes. Catalog my pantry, give me recipes, and keep it correctly stocked. Maybe I'm just a simple creature but like, these are the obvious problems in my life I'll pay to have go away so why are we taking away the fun stuff instead?

You can already pay to have all those issues go away.

    No you can't. You can only pay to transfer them to someone else on top of their own.

    It's fundamentally different from how a machine or some code makes a task actually go away or at least become smaller.

      There are already cheap, domestic robots for cleaning dishes, cleaning the floor, cleaning clothes, making coffee, heating and cooling food, turning screws, drilling holes and so on. All those robots represent a greater than 90 percent (and sometimes a greater than 99 percent) savings in time relative to doing the same tasks manually. You still have to move the objects they operate on around within your house but that's mostly the only part of the task you have to do.
