No, lots of people do not feel similar. You may also be out of touch.

Wait, you haven’t been reading the news for the last 3 decades? Chores for sure, but even componaionship has been on the table (Aibo was oriented at that very thing, and that was late 1990s, I think). Or are you just being very American centric?

Sure they do.

How do you feel about letting your parents use a dishwasher versus doing the dishes for them?

What about letting them see a doctor instead of taking care of all their medical issues yourself?

Obviously the task that is being outsourced matters. Nobody cares if a robot is taking out the trash. If this allows people more time to focus on real interactions, then that's a good thing
