Why can’t robots like the ones being developed by Boston dynamics eventually do this stuff?

they could but not practical. helluva lot harder to build, operate and maintain a plumbing robot than to just hire a plumber

They can, but that tech isn't getting practical applications for probably at least 60 years. Way too costly and not reliable as is, so it'll still make sense for companies to hire humans.

Eventually they may be, but that wasn’t the question. It was specifically about AI. It didn’t phrase the question about combining robots with it. I don’t think they’ll be able to get robots in combination with AI advanced enough to go these tasks in our life time.
