Good personal assistants (e.g. executive assistants) also base their information on information not available in email; e.g. conversations and non-verbal cues. Good ones carefully guard and (implicitly) prioritize their boss' time. I am skeptical that an AI lacking such information would have the necessary data to replace a human.
- w1ntermute 12y agoIt doesn't have to replace a human, it just has to reduce the work that has to be done by one to a degree that paying for X.ai is a compelling proposition.
- olefoo 12y agoDoesn't need to replace a human; just needs to be Good Enough™ to save the human 80% of the time they would spend in unproductive back and forth. Just like a dishwasher is not a replacement for a scullery maid; and won't individually polish each piece of silverware like a proper butler. This doesn't need to be a human level fully rounded intelligence imbued with common-sense. It just needs to be able to reconcile schedules and locations and travel times.
