Seeing robots in the news now makes me think of old sci-fi movies

Back then, robots were big and loud in factories, but now they're tiny and smart in labs. I get confused why we don't see more of them in everyday life yet, like helping with chores.

Seriously though, what's the big deal. They show a robot folding a towel and everyone freaks out. My Roomba still gets stuck on the rug. Saw a delivery bot once that couldn't cross the street curb. They're just fancy appliances. Not like the movies at all.

Wait what, a delivery bot couldn't cross the curb? That's the thing they can't figure out. Saw one last week too, just beeping at a driveway. They show the towel thing but can't handle a basic sidewalk. My Roomba eats charger cables for fun.

Why do we fall for the hype when they can't even handle a curb? Those demos are set up in perfect conditions, but real life has stairs and dog toys. They're just overpriced gadgets until they work in my messy house.
