I agree with you that humanoid robots are largely a stupid endeavor. But then there’s human nature. And people have been fantasizing about androids for hundreds of years, if not longer. I think eventually we will have them, whether they make sense or not.

Well C-3PO is famously annoying. So a somewhat unfair example. 😁

I’ll admit that I have been fascinated by humanoid robots since Spielberg’s “A.I.” movie. But I don’t want to own one.
