You know what a tradesman does today and an AI cannot? Get under the sink, undo that rusted bolt, route that cable in that awkward position and so on.

Too many people make the mistake of thinking there’s an infinite number of sinks to get under.
There is though. In Europe finding a plumber that will take you can have you wait weeks pricelessly because those sinks in existence keep breaking down.
Advanced robots will be able to do that in less than five years. Inexpensive ones in less than 20 years.
