Sure. But at what costs? One can do many things by technology. Are people willing to pay for it? And how much?

Cars are a good example, there was a point where you couldnt get a car that was cheaper than a horse. Eventually there were enough old cars on the market that reduced the price so having a horse just wasnt financially reasonable.
There will be a point where there are enough old robots on the market that having a human do a simple labor job isnt financially reasonable.

Good point.
However, there‘s a crucial difference to cars. Robots are hardware AND software. And I don’t know anybody who uses Windows 95, CorelDraw, and Netscape today. Software and connected hardware outdate mich faster than simple hardware.

At some point only robots and robots CEOs, business owners will have jobs. Most humans will have no job and so no money to buy stuff made by the robots.
