If robots watch your kids, walk your dog, make you dinner, and take care of other deeply human experiences, you can spend all your time being a dick online and/or getting high. Sort of like in Wall-E, where they show how fulfilled the humans are.

Yes, but if robots could instead spend their time being a dick online and/or getting high, you'll have all the time to watch your kids, walk your dog, and make yourself dinner.

Trouble is, the robots have to have a musky human driving them in the background, so you have to watch them around your kids.

Sounds like a lot of Musk projection

There are days I have literally zero minutes where I am not working or on dad duty. Robots making me dinner and watching my kids for an hour sounds amazing.

It's so weird to me that they chose dog walking as an example, because the robot it would take to walk my dog would be a tank. It would be insane to try to do that with a bipedal humanoid bot.
