Humanoid robots are also a pipe dream until we have the brains to put into them. It's easy to build a slick looking shell and teleoperate it to dance on stage or serve drinks. The 1X company is actually selling a teleoperated "robot" (Neo), saying the software will come later !!
As with AGI, if the bottleneck to doing anything is human level intelligence or physical prowess, then we already have plenty of humans.
If you gave Musk, or any other AI CEO, an army of humans today, to you think that would accelerate his data center expansion (help him raise money, get power, get GPU chips)? Why would a robot army help? Are you imagining them running around laying bricks at twice the speed of a human? Is that the bottleneck?
