One way my "smart home" has altered my behaviour is that I have to worry about keeping numerous devices up to date software wise and fix broken configurations occasionally. It's partly my fault because I have used devices from different vendors and ecosytems and tied them together with Home Assistant. It works most of the time but also breaks in sometimes unexpected ways. For example I have to regularly (every four to six weeks) reset my IKEA light bulbs because they start misbehaving by loosing the connection to my server. It has been a fun learning experience, but I would not recommend this kind of setup to someone less technically inclined.
Given these experiences I have a hard time seeing how AI could improve my setup. It would probably just make it more chaotic and even less predictable.
