You think we are far off having a robot paint? That super skilled job that college students do it in the offseason with zero training.

Or drywall. Or framing. Or Flooring. Laying Carpet. Roofing.

These aren't hard things. It's coming and it's coming fast.

Electicain, Welder, Hvac, etc will take longer for sure. But the more unskilled trades will be mostly automated in the next decade easily.
Musk tried to get robots to pour drinks, and it later came out that all the robots were actually puppets, as they can't do those simple tasks yet. We're definitely more than 10 years away from having a team of robots show up at a site with materials and getting down to work.

Also, the robots cost millions of dollars right to build right now. The student painters get paid around minimum wage.
