Straightening up the living room before the robot does its vacuuming is very reminiscent of the old days of picking up your unmentionables before the human-based cleaning service arrives. Don’t want to be embarrassed by anyone finding out what a slob you are. Especially the person you are paying to clean your messes.
Progress. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Both services do the same half fast job. They bump around randomly like they have never been here before. Finding obstacles and inconveniences in peculiar places, desperately searching for more lemon pledge, and using your phone to contact their parole officers. Robots a little less often, but they definitely have their overlords to report to.
All your bases are belong to us. Robotic Maids. They won’t even wear the sexy uniform. It’s for the best, though; you shouldn’t be getting aroused by an intelligent vacuum cleaner. The follow through consequences would be dire.
