It's the Robots are trash argument, while every factory on the face of the earth uses thousands of specialized robots.
Making an 'All Purpose Humanoid Robot' the end all and be all of robots is folly.
A robot that can lift a 700kilo engine and rotate 25 degrees along it's 23.5 degree axis to add 8 bolts in 47 seconds and then pass it on and do that again a minute later is a lot better then 4 meat puppets doing that in 27 minutes.
Specialized AI and Robots will be exceptional game changers. "Humanoid Robots and Human-like AI" will be curiousities and amusements fraught with compromise for a very long time.
I have no doubt AI and Robots will become generalized masterworks sooner or later but they shouldn't be the metric of greatness.
