It's just cheaper to put humans on tedious physical tasks. See Amazon.

AI is cheaper than a high paid designer, developer, writer, etc.

A robot is more expensive than a human laborer.

It's really funny to see the squirm from those thinking truckers would be automated away, not them.

Not when intelligence is cheap and highly abundant. Perfecting general robotics as an improvement on humans will be quick. The upper limit of strength and consistency is much higher.

I mean today, in the real world.

It is currently more expensive to build a robot for many tasks than it is to have a human do it.

It has not been nor is there any indication it will be.

Today in the real world AI can replace very little of designers, programmers, etc. Lots of potential and extrapolation, sure. but hasn't happened. What has actually been produced by AI has been panned as not quite ripe yet.

Same with robotics. Lots of potential, but hasn't happened yet. If you read the description, Sora, is based out of trying to simulate the physical world to solve physics based problems. Something that would be perfect for the next leap in robotics.

I use to pay designers for artwork, now I just use AI.

There's no physical task that robots have replaced humans for me.

Hell, even the roomba sucks (pun intended) and my wife has to pick up the slack.
