The different tasks I perform each day and movements I make with my body would be hard for any machine to make. Also, talking with different people. Trying to be nice to management. The environment could have very unexpected elements while working. Machines break.

Too complicated and varied. Too many factors.

Creating a machine that can adequately use at least 10 tools per job, while figuring out the best tool for the job would be virtually impossible.

Reducing the costs of manual labor has always been on the agenda to increase or maintain profits for employers. These employers are inevitably profit-driven, or they risk being competed out of the business.

I’m sure Boston dynamics already has a construction worker robot.

As long as they make less of a mess in the lunch rooms and toilets I don't mind.

3D printing in large scale will build your home in 72 hours, why do you need more people standing there pointing and hammering plywood? Don't worry about brick on your head. All material will be recycle, and if you get tired of your house, bull dose and build a new home while you go for a vacation. See this company Winsun from China and the home they build for Africa

bruh, 3d printing just looks good but isn't. It just prints the skeleton. The muscles, pillars, interior structures, plumbing, and electrical arrangement should all be done by humans my silly friend.

AI will have to be able to get around work sites with out tripping over loose material on the job site. Or be able to put siding on a wall like humans can.
