>"How many PhD's does it take to do <generic task>?" So now instead of one untrained person doing the dishes, you have 5 PhD students hovering around a robot as it spends 8 hours poorly cleaning one.

Yeah, and then it spends 8 hours cleaning another, and soon it'll be spending 5 hours cleaning two, 2 hours cleaning a dozen, and it'll keep going down, and those 5 PhD's will keep improving the robot, more and more. And it doesn't even need to be faster than us, because that one robot can keep washing dishes 24/7, with no rest and no pay.

And eventually it'll catch up to us in speed and precision, and it'll keep getting better and surpass us.

And then, once you have a single good robot. You can simply replicate it, again and again, mass producing thousands of them and they will all keep working 24/7 with no rest and no pay.

Yeah, we're not there yet for most jobs, but we're getting there. It's gonna take a while but it will without a doubt happen
