I just want some AI that can cut my hair, exactly the way I want it.

Or cook a meal. Much more useful than driving a car, because in a car you're mostly idling anyway so you might as well drive.

These are much more robotics problems. The “AI” is probably sufficient as long as it has the correct sensors and dexterity

But if the car drove itself, we could cook meals in the car...

Unfortunately, doing stuff while being subjected to random accelerating forces makes many people feel nauseous, and physical tasks become more difficult.

Much like my fears about bluetooth connected cars being hacked to crash on the highway, it turns out that - by and large - nobody wants to kill me (or at least, not badly enough to do anything about it).

Ah yes the nobody wants to do it to me excuse. Until you piss off the wrong person and you suddenly crash into the railing and die in an 'accident'. In a more Orwellian world. It can be used to assassinate dissidents or individuals who speak out against authoritarian regimes. It's just a tool in a box, but it's one that's simple, easy to use, and leaves no evidence.

Oh, Ada Palmer’s ‘Too Like The Lightning’ has this as an element.

If this were true, restaurants would already have these robots.

Also, I'm talking about real cooking, not some mechanized approximation that produces meals akin to fast food, or the microwave stuff you can already buy in the supermarket.

Saw a great toot yesterday. Startups and media business are looking to make a windfall on AI generated art, music, code, writing, and other services. The payment models will be subscriptions, pay per use, and other models that make more money the more content is produced. But there's still no AI (with associated mechanics) that can fold laundry. (I think the latter would be really useful.)

Is this not available as a standalone tool?

> To enable Bunny AI, simply enable the feature under the Bunny AI panel and start generating!

Where is this exactly?

Also, are the other AI image generation tools that can be used now at low prices? I've tried some of the free ones, but they have two hour wait times sometimes!

That’s because folding laundry is way, way harder.

I think it’ll be a long time before automated laundry folding is commercially viable at household scale (factory scale is another matter) simply because as other, easier, more lucrative activities are automated, the cost of “unskilled” human labour will be driven down faster than the cost of the equipment required to fold laundry.

>There's still no AI that can fold laundry We're actually really close to general robot agents that operate in your home. Check out googleAI's saycan & RT-1 systems https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/12/rt-1-robotics-transformer-... .

That's gonna be great until someone hacks it and has it stab me to death in my sleep.

just unplug the robot before you go to sleep, an easy solution

One interesting idea I saw somewhere on the internet was that we might see a return to more mechanical/hands on professions while low level white collar jobs get destroyed in the same way old factory jobs did.
