AI robots could play future role as companions in care homes

So the Old Glory Insurance SNL skit was actually prophetic... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Gh_IcK8UM

But no thanks- I'd rather just become Soylent than coddled by robots waiting for me to die.

... could?

This is going to be one of the first. Caregiver pays minimum wage and has high-tier stress levels. Unless you think wrangling the mentally ill is easy. Do recall how common cognitive decline is.

It's frankly a horrifying job in a horrifying industry that only exists because people have been conditioned to mindlessly fear all contact with death. And our elders suffer for it. As will we. Unless we get some cool robots to do a better job for less pay.

Sad.
