My dream is to do pair coding (and pair learning) with an AI. It would be a live conversation and it can see whatever I’m doing on my screen. We’re gradually getting closer.

I wanted to say that's Copilot, but you meant speaking instead of typing?

  I envision it feeling like you're pair programming with a person. (I have problems staying motivated.) But that might be a good place to start.

    Interesting! I do find projects with friends very engaging. They always seem to lose interest long before I do, though. That really bums me out, and used to make me lose steam too. My current approach is, "I'm going to do it no matter what, and if you want to join that's cool too." -- That's the main advantage of GPT for me... not infinite wisdom, but infinite willingness to listen, and infinite enthusiasm! That is in very short supply among humans. Which is probably why it costs $200/hr in human form, heh. Unconditional positive regard. Pi.ai is also surprisingly good for that, better than GPT in some aspects (talking out "soft problems" — not as good for technical stuff).

I have a similar dream; with one major caveat - it must unequivocally be a local model. "See whatever I'm doing on my screen" comes with "leaks information to the model" and that could go real-bad-wrong real fast.

  I have a feeling people will really demand local only for AI. I’m not sure why the demand never materialized for other highly personal services like search, photos, medical, etc. But I just have this hunch we all really want it for AI.

    I have a feeling that a small subset of privacy-conscious "computer savvy" folks will care about local-only for AI, but that the vast majority of humanity simply won't know, care, or care to know why they should even care. For proof, just look at how nobody cared about search, photos, medical, or other data until theirs got leaked, and still nobody cares about them because "it's not my data that got leaked". We (we in the larger sense of computer users as a whole, not just the small subset of "power-users") should care more about privacy and security and such, but most people think of computers and networks in the same way they think of a toaster or a hammer. To them it's a tool that does stuff when they push the right "magic button", and they couldn't care less what's inside, or how it could harm them if mis-used until it actually does harm them (or come close enough to it that they can no longer ignore it).

More than that, it can monitor your screen continuously and have perfect recall, so it will be able to correct you immediately, or remind you of relevant context. I like to call it "Artificial Attention".
