Will AI replace Private Household Cooks?

Why this score

Private household cooks face serious displacement pressure because the core tasks — meal planning, grocery list generation, recipe execution, and basic food prep — are highly structured and increasingly handled by AI-driven kitchen appliances and meal automation services. Robotic cooking systems like Moley Robotics and smart thermomix-style devices already replicate standardized cooking techniques, while AI meal planners eliminate the need for a human to design weekly menus or manage dietary requirements. The personal, relationship-driven aspects of working in a private home offer some buffer, but that buffer is thinner than most cooks assume. If your employer can get consistent, customized meals from a countertop robot and an AI nutritionist app, what exactly are they paying you for?
