A Reddit user is advocating for a shift in AI development, urging researchers to prioritize automating physically demanding and unpleasant jobs instead of focusing on tasks currently performed by skilled professionals. The user argues that applying AI to roles like dishwashing and cleaning could liberate individuals from repetitive and often low-paying work, opening up opportunities for more creative and fulfilling endeavors. They propose that this approach would also lead to improved working conditions and a fairer distribution of the benefits of technological advancement. The user even shared hypothetical robot designs, such as the ‘DishBot 3000,’ as examples of potential solutions.
