ChatGPT stands out in its ability manage meandering conversational language to find the interwoven commands. The pearl is that the user doesn't need to accomodate the AI's limitations. The core issue with current AI assistants is each has an invisible wall of limitations that the user can only discover via experimentation. This ultimately results in the system training the user on how to speak to it, and what commands it can accept. Since the system doesn't have any way of notifying the user of growing functionality, most users possess a dated idea of the capabilities of their AI assistant. I don't feel it's warranted to use ChatGPT as evidence that AI assistants are bad or that people at FAANG companies are to be ashamed. AI assistants operate under far greater restraints such as a necessity to reply quickly and run computationally light. ChatGPT currently can't provide that at the moment, and making the conversational interaction smarter won't make the whole AI system smarter. E.g. If I say "remind me to get bananas", ChatGPT won't pop up and alert me when I pass a greengrocer or supermarket. Instead one should direct their criticism more fairly: such as why don't AI assistants provide a better means of demonstrating their growing functionality, or demonstrate the flexibility of language that they do understand. I think most people would be pleasantly pleased by what an AI assistant could do if they just knew what they could ask it. Side note: Siri is does understand basic context. If you say "it's dark in here", it will turn on the lights. For those that put a homepod in each room, Siri is smart enough to turn on a light in just that room. It will also handle longer commands that tie into system functionality "remind me to get my prescription when I'm near CVS" will build a reminder that's tied to a geo-fence around the pharmacy. What it doesn't do (and I can't see how ChatGPT would help here) is recommend any pharmacy that I walk past, instead it has to be just that CVS, and if there are multiple CVS's nearby, I would have had to elect one.)
