I'm a little confused what the use-case for these bots are?

It feels like it would be easier to built a bot to perform a specific set of tasks, rather than a human shaped robot?

Musk has said he wants to put them in Tesla factories first. The humanoid setup was chosen because working stations are designed for humans

I honestly think Elon just wanted a robot. I don't think there's much reason for this to exist, and I bet it'll get dropped when he finds something new.

Not only that but in a few years we will find out the videos have been faked just like the self driving stuff.

Autopilot has some serious issues but it's live on customer cars. Can't fake that.
