Unitree's new G1 humanoid robot is priced at only $16,000, and looks like the type of humanoid robot that could sell in the tens of millions. (newatlas.com)

there is labor that can* be done with extremely little skill. Think vacuuming a large flat room with nothing valuable on it, that task could be done (more or less) with a robotic vacuum. Entire jobs might not be fully replaced but labor demands can be greatly reduced.

*not necessarily done well, but done to minimum standards
