I dig it. Serious question. I can't figure it out. Why are we so obsessed with humanoid robots

I think it's pretty clear that the optimal robot would not be modeled after the human body as we're pretty limited to the things we can do. So not sure where the obsession with making robots look humanesque is coming from. Should probably keep those things as far away from looking like humans as possible

Optimal or not, most of society is arranged in such a way as to be optimal for an average human bodied human. I think for an allround worker robot to compete in the market place he should be made somewhat like a human, at least at first.

The special purpose robots already exist. (Welding robots, LLM, selfdriving metro etc.)

Solid points much appreciated
