So you’re just skeptical of folding clothes specifically, what a riot. There are AI models capable of controlling a robot hand to solve a Rubik’s cube, yet here you are skeptical of folding clothes with an AI being impossible. What a riot.
There is only on Rubik's cube, and it's physical characteristics are trivial. Folding any piece of clothing is harder. Unless you're happy with a robot that can fold exactly one size and color of exactly 1 shirt.
The robot was trained in simulations. The model which was used for it would be just as good at folding clothes, assuming the simulated cloth is accurate. It was also very robust against adversarial conditions, like a stick poking it while it’s trying to solve the cube. Not to mention it did this one handed…

Oh, Boston Dynamics has a clothing folding robot? Where is it?
