this is what excites me most about the probable AI future. househelp is cheaply and easily accessible for most people in the east, however being able to afford a cleaner or maid in the west is a luxury. i spent a ginormous amounts of time every week keeping my house in shape. i look forward to the day when i will be able to carve out that time and get it back for myself.

I wonder, what will you do with that free time you will crave?

Work more for my boss and landlord so the fiefdom can survive.

And pay for the maintenance costs of my new robotic servants! At least now I can finally feel like my own masters, ruling over these robots. /s

I think anything more advanced than a Roomba won't be cheaper than a maid for actually cleaning your house.

Househelp isn't cheaply and easily accessible for most people in the east, a large portion of people in the east is just poor but you don't consider them in 'most people'.
