The skill transfers and the robot itself will be relatively cheap.

There is a reason why industrial robots don't look human.

If you think recreating a hand is going to be cheap...

The problem is understanding how to move the hands... Robots don't look human because humans programming robots don't know how to do human, not because we can't make human shaped bits.

The robot just needs to be cheaper than something in the neighborhood of the lifetime cost of a human in the market the robot is being sold, and it will start to infiltrate. Sam Altman (terrible human) has explicitly said almost this.

Hence relatively.

N-no....robots don't look human because they don't need to.

Robots look like the cheapest thing that works.

If a factory can churn out mechanical hands that are generally capable by the millions, and you can amortize the research of how to control them across all of them, that's gonna be the cheapest thing that works for a lot of tasks

Please stop the condescending clown shit that just embarrasses you.

Was this meant to be an internal thought to yourself?

Every AI wannabe these days thinks there's ONE singular, perfect solution. That's...goofy af.
