Robots can already play instruments, robots already build circuit boards, robots can already paint pictures.

Admittedly they need pre-programming, but general purpose AI is the solution to that problem, and we're very close

Edit. lol why downvote ?

robot building complex circuit boards (admittedly this is different to installing electronics in someones home, but on paper it's actually more complicated)

Robots created and programmed to do a single task can do a basic version of these things. General intelligence and general capability is super hard. Even creating AI thank can do a specific task like drive a car in traffic has proven extremely difficult considering it is a fairly mundane task for a human.

Ya I agree, but general purpose AI will allow them to compete with us, and holy shit we're closer than I thought we'd be in my lifetime

The real breakthrough is once AI can train new AI, then the growth is exponential and it's game over
