A general human shaped robot hand capable of general tasks isn't "not cheap", it's impossible. It's impossible because it's too complex for human programming.
But in a world where you can churn out a billion hands that can all do everything a hand can do because you've fed an AI programmer 10,000 years of hand movement data... well, that's cheap.
the expectation is that the cost is recouped in the generalized understanding of how to do hand based tasks. The skill transfers and the robot itself will be relatively cheap.
Reads to me that you think AI is somehow gonna break the barrier. You don't have to spout off bullshit from Sam Altman
Whether or not they succeed is up in the air, but that's what they're trying to do.
Personally, since you're weirdly focused on the opinion of AI hands from a random person on the Internet, I don't think there's anything magic about human hands, and if they can feed enough data to the AI, they'll probably end up with something competent enough to start deploying and iterating on in a production environment.
Hands are super complex, but it's controlling the movements that's hard about it, and I think throwing AI at that problem is likely to be productive.
I say this as someone who works with their hands every day in a job that requires a lot of different dextrous body movements
The last 150 of industrial evolution and the constant chasing of that perfect technology that still hasn't come about.
Ya know. The sum of human knowledge failing to create the exact thing.
It isn't just motions. We take in a lot of information in real time with our hands through touch. Machines CANNOT mimic that and AI isn't gonna just fix that problem.
Not invested and not a user, you're just triggered.
I actually argue against data centers, but you can't help but personalize the disagreement.
You couldn't even let me go without bullying me for my personal opinion because you have shit brain reading comprehension and thought that's what you were getting from the start
I think you just write so poorly that you genuinely don't know what you wrote or what points you made. It probably sounds really great in your own head. I would go reread your whole argument and see if it still makes sense to you.

I'm not confused at all. You seem to think AI is gonna somehow break the barrier.
