I think we are right around the corner from actual AI personal assistants, which is pretty exciting. We have great tooling for speech to text, text to speech, and LLMs with memory for “talking” to the AI. Combining those with both an index of the internet (for up to date data, likely a big part of the Microsoft/open ai partnership) and an index of your own content/life data, and this could all actually work together soon. I’m an iPhone guy, but I would imagine all of this could be combined together on an android phone (due to it being way more flexible) then combining that with a wireless earbud and then rather than it being a “normal” phone, it’s just a pocketable smart assistant. Crazy times we live in. I’m 35, so have basically lived through the world being “broken” by tech a few times now: the internet, social media, and smart phones all fundamentally reshaped society. Seems like AI that we are living through right now is about to break the world again. EDIT: everything I wrote above is going to immediately run into a legal hellscape, I get that. If everyone has devices in their pockets recording and processing everything spoken around them in order to assist their owner, real life starts getting extra dicey quickly. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
