Lots of people envision a future where you buy a robot assistant off the shelf and it just helps you around the house like Rosey on the Jetsons.

In actuality, that’ll be the expensive model. Most of us will end up with a base model you have to train. The annoying option. Let’s call him Ricky.

You come home from work and Ricky’s sitting on the couch watching videos of TI-84s and vaping WD-40 because you didn’t have time to train him.

You’re all mad because AI was supposed to be the cool new thing and instead, you got sucked into being a teacher with a deadbeat student laying around the house.

Eventually, you kick Ricky out because no one needs a robot that doesn’t know what to do.
