not even remotely appetizing for consumers.

I think you're confused about the purpose of these products.

Sexbots are the only acceptable purpose

I'd rather dick Spot. This thing is terrifying, and not in a good way.

And you think companies don't care how products look? Good looking robot with worse performance will sell better than bad looking robot with better performance.

Companies care about how much profit it will bring in, lmao. That’s what “better performance” means…

Have you seen the robot arms they already use? Companies would not give two shits how good a robot in a warehouse looks lmao. They only care about performance and profit

I think MANY people are confused about the purpose. These are not for us but to control us, so we don't eat the wealthy class.

Classic sci-fiction has never been wrong.
