But your examples are way harder than they sound. There are two ways to look at this problem: (1) what is hard and what is easy for our current tech to do, and (2) what are the things that humans actually want to pawn off to assistants? The problem is that those are two very different answers. I don't think I agree with the grandparent comment that some of those things should be easy, but I do think that comment contains good examples of the level of sophistication that would make an AI assistant more than just a curiosity for the couple times each day you prefer not to hit the button yourself (or if you listen to the radio while you shower).
