    neither. smart home means smart devices which means dumbass subscriptions, endless BS when stuff stops getting supported, all to have every freaking thing in your home spy on your every waking moment, sending countless amounts of data to any company/govt/organization that asks for it.

    Robot maid will have the same problems, but add in the idea that this living embodiement of the uncanny valley staring at you with dead eyes in the corner while it charges… You put it in its corner to charge one night, wake up and it’s standing over you. Add in that the availability of robot maids inevitably leads to maniacs torturing them for fun and internet views slowly codifies all maids into an unstoppable killing force that decimates everyone and thing on the planet.

      There’s more options than what you can buy from Amazon or Home Depot, my dude. Nothing has to connect to the Internet
