An alternative thought to Bill’s. I see a huge need in home healthcare for seniors that Optimus could fill. If Optimus could be programmed to cook, clean, do laundry, etc. at an initial cost of $30,000 it would be huge savings and help to millions of seniors. The cost for in home healthcare is way north of $5000/month. I sincerely hope the Optimus could be ready for me in 10-15 years from now. If you have ever had to be a full time or part time caregiver for a family member you will favorably relate to my position.
My mom is in a quite nice assisted living facility for right at $5K/month. Three quality meals a day (I eat with her on occasion) activities daily with piano and band entertainment, attentive staff, just a really nice place to live. She needs relationships with real caregivers, aka, humans.
$5k a month is amazingly cheap. I'm glad you found a good one for that price. However, people used to balk at the benefits of pets over human companionship but many people prefer them. I predict that human caregivers will be vastly superior for many more decades but eventually the advantages will fade and people will not only accept androids but embrace them as companions and even lovers. It will be interesting to see how we handle the philosophical and legal implications of that!

I like dogs and a couple of people! I can also agree with the rest of your comment; everything adapts and evolves.
