Wouldn't a personal AI help you live a more well-balanced life, allowing us to offload tasks to it so we can appreciate the world around us and simplicity, rather having to do it all ourselves?
- vouaobrasil 3y agoSo far it seems that other automations have not done so. We've offloaded many tasks to computers, but now we spend more time than ever in front of a screen (see https://www.statista.com/statistics/645644/north-america-daily-time-per-capita-internet/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/645644/north-america-dai... for example). More people live in cities, with less opportunities for fresh air. And let's not forget that the system itself is so complex now with so many dependencies that we surround ourselves with anything but simplicity. There might be a world where what you say is possible of course, but I don't see it in this one when it comes to more advanced forms of automation. In fact, sometimes the joys of life can be found in the most simple of mechanical tasks. Of course, not everyone thinks so.
- crooked-v 3y agoThe problem is that none of them are actually good enough for that yet. The closest I've seen are calendar-managing LLM services, and even those only really work because it's a tightly-constrained task set and easy to confirm the results as good or not. Edit: I still can't even trust Siri to be fully accurate 100% of the time about turning the lights on and off, let alone anything more complicated than that.
