Proponents of humanoid robots often hawk a Utopia in which every poor and middle-class household has a humanoid servant that frees them from tedium. But this sort of relief has been a promise of *every* technology of automation for several generations, and last I checked, workers have not become more wealthy and leisurely at all. In fact, the majority of the fruits of productivity borne by automation has so far accrued to the very wealthy, and very little to the poor. There’s no reason to believe this time it will be different.
