Never. When futuristic technologies become a reality they also become boring.

>facial recognition
>wirelessly networked handheld computers
>pocked-sized 24MP cameras and high-definition video capturing
>massive computation factories that have artificial intelligent machines
>soon phones will work with phased array sub-millimeter antennas

all these things were insane to even dream in the past

Nah, that kind of thing will be made irrelevant by VR, at least for the average Joe. Only some Saudi oil baron or tech oligarch could afford a robot that sophisticated. VR waifus obviously wouldn't be as physically gratifying, but they'd come at a fraction of the cost.

Of course, passable androids would probably become affordable eventually, but it'll be a hell of a lot later than 2030.

Humanoid robots will dominate world economy by 2030, they are just too important to fail.

Robots are ethically OK slaves.

Physical labor will basically become free. Why hire a person to do any labor, when a robot can do it.

Cruise ships now have 5000 passengers and 2000 crew, by 2030, 5000 passengers as 200 crew. Farming will automatic tractors, and robotic labor to harvest.
Fast food will have 1 or 2 people working and rest will be all robots.
EVERYWHERE will be spotlessly clean because robot labor is dirt cheap.

True dark factories will exist, raw materials go in one side and finish product come out the other.

Reverse-engineering the human body is a lot harder than you think it is. Sure, you could maybe make something that had similar range of motion and appearance as a human with narrow AI to let it pantomime human behavior, but would it be as durable as a human whilst keeping the same weight? Would it have a power source that lasts longer than 5 minutes and doesn't generate more heat than a normal human without some kind of tether? Fuck no.

Dude, nobody said fully functioning human replacements. Just labour robots with limited AI to perform their jobs.

As I said, a sex robot only needs a few joints and motors and vibrators. Plug into wall for usage and have it follow you as an A.I in your phone/smart glasses when not fucking.

That being said,
>Robots are ethically OK slaves
When that gets disputed is when the robot wars will begin.

Human will be reverse-engineered in 15 years.

Robots could be hybrid-biological. They will have real muscles etcetera. Dexterity is extremely easy with machine learning.

Compared to an 18th century setting, we are already living in a "futurist" setting. The problem with all "futurist" settings is that as soon as they become IRL, they become mundane and boring. You must find excitement in your own life through other means, if you are finding your existence banal.

Hah I wish. I live in an European shithole country where I live in a building built in the 1600s that wasn't even originally built for human occupation but for the storage of trade goods.

EU made laws against new buildings, billboards or any signs outside of the buildings so we are going to be stuck like this. Even when we are a multi planetary species in 2300 my city is still going to look like this shit. Be glad you even have a modern city.

The one bright spot is the Chicago skyline. Not the city itself, and certainly not the south side, but the skyline alone. Frank Lloyd Wright famously derided New York City for its unorganized chaos compared to Chicago's loop, which is chock-full of famed architectural marvels. Mies van der Rohe, one of the founders of modernism, found his home there. It is consistently ranked #2 by most architectural orgs, just behind Hong Kong in terms of aesthetic appeal. I wanted to post an image with this post but no image can do it justice.
