    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.
