I think if we have to have robots, they should look like robots, not humans. Like TARS from Interstellar

I often imagine having one or two of these beside me at work, helping with heavy lifting, repetitive tasks, 3-D printing stuff for me, helping diagnose things. Basically the ultimate swiss-army-knife.

A tool should look like a tool imo.

interesting.

what kind of leverage do you think you could get on your time with 1-2 robots working alongside you?

would they be more or less useful than having 1-2 humans helping you?

It's weird to think about. Like at what part of the curve of AI learning does it become more efficient to hire one Jack-of-all-trades human and 1-3 bots they they work with, program, debug, prompt etc. And then how much farther up the curve do I become obsolete? (like two months after??)

I work in research and to have 1-2 bots doing tasks 24/7, double-checking each-other, they don't get hungry, or sleep, or need time off, don't need benefits etc. would be pretty crazy.

I don't know, maybe AI will just blow past the whole robots in the workplace thing, because we won't need to work anymore, and we can jump straight to making our own open source R2D2's and TARS.
