Isn't that what grocery delivery apps are for, if you really don't want to go to the store.
> doing laundry, pairing socks etc … but solving any of that would require more than just bullshit LLM capabilities.
Yes, it's a shame robotics (hardware) is harder than software, but that's not really the fault of AI model developers.
Actually, for Robotics hardware is a solved problem. Software is struggling to keep up.

I understand the sentiment but this couldn't be further from the truth. There are no robotic hand models that get close to the fidelity of humans (or even other primates).
The technology just doesn't exist yet, motors are a terrible muscle replacement. Even completely without software, a puppeteered hand model would be revolutionary.
You kind of missed the point of my comment but ok

It’s their fault for pushing all this crap in all the things and misleading their investors that there is actually “intelligence” in what we now call AI.

These are not popular here and for a good reason - you need to enjoy your food and it starts by picking the right ingredients yourself.
“someone packs a bag for me and delivers it to my door” is just moving the problem somewhere else, not actual innovation.
They always mess up a few things, make brain dead substitutions, or get low quality produce. I had bags show up smelling strongly of cigarettes. All for a premium price, an app that takes a surprising amount of time finding things on, and the complete loss of discoverability.
My experience with other shopping sites makes me suspect that with all the ads, tracking, captchas, etc bogging things down, it might be faster to just go to the store yourself.
Can you refuse to pay, since you didn't got what you ordered?
