Robots.
Date: 2020-07-02 05:36 am (UTC)I don't want something to cook my meals. I want to mess up the kitchen and have something clean up the mess so I can mess it up again.
I don't want a disembodied voice to turn on/off my lights, or put milk on my grocery list, or even find me a snazzy TV program. I want something to clean my bathroom, and do my vacuuming.
