> Why don't we have AI and robots working for humanity with the boring menial tasks - mowing laws, filing taxes, washing dishes, driving cars

I mean, we do have automation for literally all of those things, to varying degrees of effectiveness.

There's an increasing number of little "roomba" style mowers around my neighborhood. I file taxes every year with FreeTaxUSA and while it's still annoying, a lot of menial "form-filling" labor has been taken away from me there. My dishwasher does a better job cleaning my dishes than I would by hand. And though there's been a huge amount of hype-driven BS around 'self-driving', we've undeniably made advances in that direction over the last decade.
