I think people will be shocked when robots will be better at things that people train their whole lives for. For example, in the near future, a robot will be able to completely disassemble a car and put it back together completely autonomously. The polymathic understanding of vast amounts of information combined with physical dexterity and ability to work 24/7 will enable all sorts of wild things. The robot will even be able to take a huge pile of disorganized parts from a dissassembled car, and still put it back together. No normally talented person could reasonably be expected to pick a random screw off a pile of all the parts of a car and know where it would go in the assembly.

Robots can also add different attachments to perform specialised tasks that custom machines often did. They can also have more than two arms.
Yes, of course people would be shocked.

The problem is just the data, the model, and the biomechanics solutions (…)

For now, I will put my trust in my human dentist.

On the one hand, this could unlock an abundance future. On the other hand, will it?
