That’s a bit of a weird way to word it. Most assembly lines (even at a cheese factory I used to do support for) do things like packaging products, installing nuts, welding panels in auto factories, etc- those robots are real and incredibly good at their SPECIFIC roles, but those aren’t the kinds of “robots” we’re talking about here. They are the opposite of autonomous- as if you stand in the way of one of these they’ll just freak out and emergency stop, or fail to and kill you. :)
The grift is that autonomous biped robots will replace skilled, or even unskilled labor in factories. Show me one tool task not confined in XYZ space carried out by these toys.

No, we get dancing and jumping around.
