This is accurate. People are conflating plumbing, with the act of installing, and maintaining plumbing. It doesn’t help that the act of maintaining the plumbing (noun) is called plumbing (verb).

But people don’t want to have to hire a plumber to fix the plumbing when it is not doing what it is supposed to.

They want “AI” to do it. Except that such a thing would require advanced robotics more than “AI”. With advanced (and affordable) robotics, the plumber wouldn’t need to actually go to your house, they could just remotely control the plumber bot from the comfort of their home, or from a central office or something. The person that shows up with the bot can be little more than a minimum wage delivery driver. Deliver the bot, make sure it powers on, make sure nobody steals or destroys it, then pack it up and move on when it’s done. The highly paid plumbers never have to go anywhere, and can basically hop from one bot to the next. While they’re working on one job, a bot is already en route to their next job, and ready to go when they finish with the current job.

We’ve adapted art and communication to the Internet. We have not done the same for plumbing (the verb). So expecting something that you can’t even currently do with a computer, to now basically be done by AI, which is confined to the restrictions of a digital-only environment, is foolish at best.

Since we adapted communication and art to digital media already, it’s almost trivial to have that generated by “AI”.

We need to build a robot capable of the work before we can do anything more here.
