    Why not just, you know, employ an actual human to do your chores in the first place? It’ll almost certainly be a lot cheaper than this clanker…

    Besides, there’s no guarantee that those teleoperators won’t be literal slaves.

      I agree on the slave front. If there is going to be any slavery going on, it better be good old-fashioned analogue slavery.

      AI exists to isolate the worker from their labor, and for people in power to avoid accountability by creating new layers of plausible deniability.

      I appreciate the thought but which would you choose:

      Full time minimum wage US worker at $7¼/hr or $15,080/yr vs $20,000 one time purchase?

      I agree with you that these things are likely underpaid labor (maybe including literal slavery, or job conditions close enough to count anyways), but I don’t think your argument is going to be convincing to anyone actually considering getting one.
