[Futurama] Why build sentient robots to do menial tasks?

There seem to be quite a few cons to building these human like robots to do very simple tasks, like bending girders. They can suffer from psychosis, and seem to do more harm than good, so what's the point in giving them so much intellect? Wouldn't it be safer and more efficient to use robots more similar to what the 2000s had, instead of making possibly homicidal bi-pedal machines?

The economy. Instead of having dumb machines you have to buy, maintain and deal with obsolescence, you get robots who get paid like ordinary workers but still have to pay taxes and maintain themselves. And when you no longer need them they get fired with no extra cost for garbage disposal.
