Not anytime soon. The big leaps in LLMs don't really carry over to robotics much, aside from some computer vision stuff. I'd say we're still 10+ years out from robots cooking for you. Maybe we'll get some kind of dedicated 'cooking machines' if there's money in it, but not humanoid cooks walking around your kitchen. And even that's being pretty optimistic because right now there's no clear way to get there, and we'd need some real fundamental breakthroughs to make it happen.

we'd need some real fundamental breakthroughs

What sort of breakthroughs are you thinking of?

No idea, and I don't think anyone does, hence the prediction that it won't happen anytime soon. Either we need perfect simulations (seems almost impossible) for training at scale or fundamental algorithmic breakthroughs in learning from very sparse data that we can collect in the real world.
Why can’t it learn from, say, YouTube videos?
