  $500 sounds about right for weekly maid service. That means the base price of the robot not including subscription fees, power, repairs, etc. would get you ~3 years of maid service.

  If your maid service goes out of business, you just find a new one. What are the odds this company will still be around in 3 years? Not a wager I’d be willing to make.

  Are they just betting that AI is gonna be good enough to replace all of them then?

  Yes. That is literally the plan.

  In a few years, I am expecting a huge consulting boom like the COBOL / FORTRAN boom that happened during Y2K.
