Ahhh, the Laffer Curve for robots and humans. It’s a moving target and very contextual to the tasks at hand. But all of those tasks wont be doing research, lunar walks, or other types of work. They will also be like PC’s and smartphones where they have utilities determined by individuals.
It reminds me of the age old question of how many Boston Dynamic Spots a person needs. Well, I need as many as a person featured on the local news for a social services visit when they find hundreds of cats and dogs living in filth but some other people might only need as many as a crazy cat lady.

**Isn’t it his duty to reduce power consumption to save the planet?
“You crazy coots have been saying the world was going to die for the last 400 years but no one cares about metal dogs. Well, I care.”
**Shouldn’t the government do more to stop people like you from stealing power that belongs to the rest of us?
“Chopper, Gizmo, Tripod, escort this lady off the property.”
“I’m a man.”
“Like hell you are!”
Silly question.
50% ratio minimum because: sexbots. And no reason they couldn’t be programmed to do other useful work when they weren’t engaged in their primary task. “When we’re done here, I need you to reload the dilithium crystals, go outside and see why the main comms antenna is stuck, make my lunch, then join me for a siesta…”
