I know we're probably far from that but damn I I just want a robot to do the dishes. That would honestly be valuable and I'd be willing to pay a lot for it.

Problem is this robot will probably be on some subscription and soon with ads.

"Hey Robot please do the dishes"

"Sure - but have you considered that you'd get cleaner dishes if you bought this detergent?"

If I could buy it once and own it though, that'd be great.
