And yet any time a person says "Lemme know if I can help" my first thought is that I don't even know what's in their wheelhouse to help me with. Will they help if I ask for someone to shovel snow? Clean out my gutters? Or are they offering to help with introductions people with money? Do they even know people with money?
- AlotOfReading 4y agoA personal assistant would absolutely get the driveway shoveled and the gutters cleaned for you, but that's beside the point. The important bit is that they understand you and could do those things if they had the capability and desire. Current natural language interfaces don't, so the human has to pick up the slack (which sucks).
