We'll see. I hope you're wrong. Once you get to "do this task" it won't care if that's "move a box" or "solder a refrigerant line".

I also hope I'm wrong. A task != any task though. The level of dexterity and movement required is difficult. I'm thinking more from a hardware than a software perspective.

OpenAI was solving Rubik's Cubes one handed 3 years ago. I think state of the art with the massive investments going into the field will surprise everyone.

Youre also thinking more from a human perspective, it's hard to do for humans because of our hands. A robot with specific attachments could do the job much easier. And it could just be a generalized attachments that could be used for multiple purposes. Or an attachment station that allows the bots to pre equip for a specific task.

Like a vacuum cleaner?

I mean basically, why not?

I can't think of a good reason why not, tbh.

While true, I think companies will rush to fill that role. Because we haven't had good general software to power the robots until recently, they didn't think to go past the initial hardware.

If general purpose robots become commonplace, naturally the next step would be to increase their performance and capabilities including making specialized robots. And it'll happen very quickly.
