I want a robot but I dont think I would fuck it
Genuine curiosity and something I've asked many people who have said they want a robot. What for?
Because robots are fucking awesome

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Maybe I could give it sentience
Why would you want that and how would you expect that to happen? How would you know you've accomplished this?
For me, it would be like having a kid. I'd raise them and we'd hang out until they develop an affinity for independence and hopefully they wouldn't hate me.
Tech wise they'd need a building sized supercomputer to update their neural net in real time as their context fills up with independent power so basically a proto starship. Nobody really knows how to create embodied sentience, but a sex bot and a dedicated TPU cluster would probably be a good starting point.
Maybe when they're grown we can make ghost guns together and discuss political philosophy idk
You can just have a kid now. What difference does it make if it's a robot?
well yeah, but I could try to sentient a robot and have kids.
Consumes fewer resources
To usher in the end of mankind of course
I'd crowdfund a James bond villain style plan.
Labor savings, obviously
I feel like for that something more like a roomba that is specialized for a task and more importantly not shaped like a human is the best option there. I feel like having your labor robots be human fascimilies is kinda weird. Like Rosie the Robot from the Jetsons is basically a slave. She can make quips! I'd feel weird having a humanoid robot like that taking orders from me.
Sorry, I assumed roombas were robots. I didn't mean humanoid robot exclusively. Honestly, I'd rather have a grey goo nanobot fleet that could shape change.
Fair enough. I'm a sci fi brained nerd and humanoid robots in Sci fi always bugs me unless it's something like Data where the purple was to see if you could make a human robot. Otherwise just have a child.
There are tasks only humanoids can do, like get boxes off of high shelves, open them and move things around. Idk there’s a million varied aspects of domestic labor and only something tall with at least two limbs with good manipulation and dexterity could achieve
That's because we designed houses for human use. Redesigning kitchens with built in robot parts that has a differen design than a standard kitchen meant for human use is way more likely and practical than bipedal robots designed like humans.
once roombas figure out how to properly get the crumbs under the kitchen counter it's over for us all.
