Inside Japan's futuristic care homes where robots look after elderly

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Why's that dark? It's a free future. The young don't have to clean up after their elders anymore.
You're right, but wrong about the robot. I'd rather kill myself than subject myself to Gen Alpha "care" if that's the form it takes.
I'd kick it over every now and again for fun to make a human get paid to pick it up.
Personal human contact is still an important thing to have for one's mental health and wellbeing at any age, and that includes the elderly and the young interacting with each other You'd think that was an important societal lesson the isolated Covid years should have taught us. Do you not think that making robots do all the work of caring for the elderly at least gives off vibes of the young just tossing out the old? A robot can never provide the personal touch of care that a human can. When I get old the last thing I would want would be just to be sent to some "home" with my only contact being with machines and computers.
Of course, advancements in this tech won't stop humans from caring for the elderly. You can still care for ur grandpa. However, ur grandpa won't die if u don't.
Here's the best case scenario - you can be with ur grandpa, chat, play video games, do fun stuff. When it's time to change the diaper, a professional robot trained for this very purpose does the job.
Spoken like someone who plans to marry a sexbot.
Haha I don't think I would need to do that just yet. But now that you said it, perhaps a sexbot might have very interesting use cases for threesomes, eh?
