Articulated robot arm sounds like the most flexible solution. Trickiest part here would be safety - any robot with the power to chop, grind, cut would also have to have a good safety system or be enclosed.

Right now I'm thinking about tasks I don't enjoy: chopping onions, peeling carrots or potatoes, anything where I have to touch meat. All those would require very advanced sensing. Come to think it, that last one brings up the important topic of food safety and sanitation, the whole thing would have to be able to withstand a washdown.

Not to mention the risk of fire if something goes wrong in the cooking process. (Or, less directly, the risk of getting sick from improperly-cooked food.)

If I wasn’t so tired and literally dropping off to sleep right now, I could make a decent argument that cooking requires AGI. Driving in our complex urban environments too for that matter.

Adjusted Gross Income? (Not meaning to be obtuse, but I'm not familiar with the acronym in this context.)

Artificial General Intelligence, or "strong" AI. A lot of the things we consider AI today is often called "weak" or "narrow" AI, in that its scoped to very specific tasks. Hotdog/Not Hotdog kind of things. General intelligence is more like our kind of intelligence, where it is adaptable to a wide variety of tasks without necessarily needing an entirely different model or structure.
