No, let's be real. The most basic human tasks have yet to be automated (like housekeeping or grocery cart parking lot fetching) because there is a long tail of edge cases and even novel scenarios that occur in even every day situations. It's why we don't have self driving cars at scale without remote or onsite human intervention capabilities, despite well-defined, algorithmic rules of the road. Most jobs are not well-defined / algorithmic and there is no amount of reading that can prepare you for the embodied, dynamic experience of performing those tasks. |

Maybe because they don't pay shit, and can be done by the massive amounts of unskilled labor that exist? Really hard to develop a robot cheap enough for the dexterity needed.
But, even then it's a mistake to think this isn't going to be a massive problem. If everything 'expensive' gets automated then that can lead to a huge pool of labor fighting for low paid jobs that can't actually pay for any assets like houses, education, stocks, etc.

Yea, there is, building an embodied robot and feeding it virtual situations based on real situations. As we get closer and closer to AGI the 'general' functioning of the robot is more and more covered and less and less human intervention is needed.
