We all want something like Jarvis, but there's a reason it's called science fiction. Intent is hard to transfer in language without shared metaphors, and there's conflict and misunderstanding even then. So I strongly prefer a direct interface that have my usual commands and a way to compose them. Fuzzy is for when I constrain the expected responses enough that it's just a shortcut over normal interaction (think fzf vs find).

Genuine question, which part of Jarvis is still science fiction? Interacting with a flying suit of armor powered by a fictional pseudo-infinite power source, as are the robots, and the fighting aliens & supervillains, but as far as having a robot companion like the movie "Her", that you can talk with about your problems, ChatGPT is already there. People have customized their ChatGPT through the use of the memories feature, given it a custom name, and tuned how they want it to respond; sassy/sweet/etc, how they want it to refer to them. they'll have conversations with it about whatever. It can go and search the Internet for stuff. Other than using it to manipulate a flying suit of armor which doesn't exist, to fight aliens, efficient the jury's still out on, which parts are there that are still science fiction? I'm assuming there's a big long list of things, I'm just not at all well versed in the lore enough to have a list of things that genuinely still seem impossible and which seem like just an implementation detail that someone probably already has an MCP for.

  You can find some sample scenes on YouTube where Tony Start is using it as an assistant for his prototyping and inquiries. Jarvis is the executor and Stark is the idea man and reviewer. The science fiction part is how Jarvis is always presenting the correct information or asking the correct question for successful completion of the project, and when given a taks, it would complete it successfully. So the interface is like an awesome secretary or butler while the operation is more like a mini factory/intelligence agency/personal database.

      That was aimed at Dum-E, not Jarvis.

        The scifi tech is the same though, and demonstrates that this tech also gets confused.

Do we? For commanding use cases articulating the action into English can feel more difficult than just doing it. Direct manipulation feels more primal to me.
