If the robotics are good enough I think a robotic Valet/Lady's maid would be useful. It's almost impossible to get into a lot of the historic costumes I sew alone and my girlfriend isn't always there to help.
Eh, I anthromophise inanimate and semi-animate objects all the time. My car has a name, my computer has a name. I curse the godess of the light switch every time a bulb blows. I understand how it could develop pathologically for some people, though.
Of course this will be used entirely for evil though. Imagine the boot stamping on your face has an adorable Hello Kitty voice, forever.
I meant it would be weird to make the robots that we use for household chores seem like people. If they were people they would be slaves. So it's way less uncomfortable for them to be clearly just machines that perform household tasks which is what they are anyway
Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure robotics is 30 years off a human analogue at least. I was meaning more semi-human personalities like Alexa/Siri. "Robot Jeeves" personalities that are enough to form some attachment to but clearly characters and not uncanny valley human.
no that would just be super depressing
Depends how many real friends you have.

yes robots to do housework would be cool. But anthropomorphising them would just be weird and creepy.

Ok I can see that
