I exceed the average human at idiocy.

I’m getting really tired of that metric.
Like, human performance has a very wide range and scope.
My car “exceeds human performance.”
My toaster exceeds human performance for making toast.
Michael Phelps exceeds the human performance of myself in a pool.
I exceed the human performance of any baby.

Exceeds the very limited parameter we used to define as “human performance.”
“Look, this robot’s arm can spin 360°! It exceeds human performance!”
Ok, can it get a glass out of the cabinet, put ice cubes in it, fill it with water and bring it to me?

I think you could have picked a more difficult metric, this is something i’m pretty sure the BD robots can actually do.

In a random home, then. A human would know what a refrigerator is, where the ice is (dispenser or freezer), check cabinets for cups/glasses, and operate the sink. The BD bots would likely have to have everything pre-mapped and programmed.
