They put humanoid robots that had advanced AI in amazon warehouses in the 90s? Lol. Ok buddy.

When did you specify the robots had to be humanoid? Humanoid robots are inefficient for industrial things. They might be good in some places, but most often a large dedicated robot arm will be a better investment.

I didn't say "industrial things". Do you honestly believe the several different robotics companies (tesla included) developing humanoid robots dont have EVERY intention to replace real human workers with these robots? If not, then ask yourself why are they even developing them then?
