Tesla Bot

Give me one of these that can run a fryer, cut veggies and run a dish machine and I’ll be rich

The Telsa Bots will be geared for doing "repetitive and boring" tasks. You could be in the market for one.

Has our life gotten so complicated that we now consider picking up some groceries to be a "repetitive and boring task"?

Personally, I hate to shop. Don't like crowds. Don't like lines. Don't like walking around looking for stuff., etc. Have better things to do with my time. If Mz. Telsa Bot has half a brain and can learn to distinguish between good produce and bad, I might be in the market for one of her offspring.

Our military drones are hundreds of times more advanced than they were when Obama was president. The same thing is going to happen to these robots in just a couple of years. Automation will eliminate unskilled labor to the point that border walls will be accepted by everyone.

Will they be making one that can vacuum and dust the house? What could be a more "repetitive and boring task" than that? If so, put me on the waiting list!

I think that they are working on one that Bill Maher would want to have sex with now, Burger King and McDonalds will be out about the same time if not sooner followed by yard work robots.

Ooh...one for yard work. Yes, definitely!

Ya know, we can have all of these "repetitive and boring tasks" done by hiring a human, and probably a lot less expensively than the cost of buying a robot. The human doesn't need periodical maintenance and repairs, either; at least, not by me.

If you watch his show just a few times you will hear, "all they want to do is cut your lawn" talking about illegal aliens. We know for sure that he is a target subject for robot products.
