    Humanoid robots are as dumb as a bag of hammers. It’s like when the first automobiles looked like carriages because that’s what everyone was used to.

    The only practical reason to make a robot look like a person is so you can fuck it. That’s it. Every other task can be performed better by removing human limitations and complexity.

      1. World is built for humans. In the near future it could be cheaper to use humanoids for some tasks than to rebuild the whole area for industrial robots.

      2. Humanoids are excellent for tasks that require human interaction.

      3. In the far future we could have humanoids that can handle multiple different tasks simultaneously, instead of purpose-built robots.

      4. Humanoids don’t have human limitations. The joints can move inhumanly.
