How long before these vacuous AI assistants will be useful in the real world?
* "Siri, check if there are better deals than renewing my car insurance with current provider."
* "Cortana, book my brother a flight from Milan to Toulouse on Monday, and don't forget to check budget airlines that aren't on expedia."
* "Alexa, change my phone contract to the new daysaver tariff."
Telling me it's raining outside or being able to make a restaurant booking in a handful of places in NYC is just not interesting^W AI.
Context and identity seem to be major missing ingredients.
- blabla_blublu 11y agoAll the above things are possible only when the other parts of the interacting system - The Insurance System/Phone Contracting Company begin building relatively user/AI friendly interfaces. Majority of these (mundane yet important)tasks go through poorly designed systems and expecting AI to navigate that hell-hole is a far fetched dream given the current climate (Maybe, a dozen years). On the other hand, if we slowly move towards a world where these systems are also replaced by AI, then we will be closer.
