Will AGI be able to stock a grocery store shelf?
2 comments

No, but it might be able to organize a fleet of humans to stock a grocery store shelf.

Physical embodied (generally low-skill, low-wage) work like cleaning and carrying things is likely to be some of the last work to be automated, because humans are likely to be cheaper than generally capable robots for a while.

Sometimes it is more narrowly scoped as “… economically valuable knowledge work”.

But sure, if you have an un-embodied super-human AGI you should assume that it can figure out a super-human shelf-stocking robot shortly thereafter. We have Atlas already.
