Legless autonomous food robot sparks debate: fixed-purpose machines land before humanoid cooks

Scott Patterson shared a video of an autonomous food robot, noting it has no legs. Jon Finger commented that such a machine is too big for his kitchen and offered a take: if a walking robot already handles everything at home (including cooking), going out to eat would be about experiencing human chefs with friends. The exchange highlights the split between fixed-purpose cooking robots that can ship today versus general-purpose humanoids further out.
