OpenAI's Undeniable Resurgence and the Coming Liftoff of Personal AI Agents
I recommend watching this Dots demo video by an OpenAI employee. Dots can go through your email, calendar, Slack messages and documents and suggest work priorities. You can also call your Dot to book travel, look at hotel options and ask about traffic patterns.
I'm probably underestimating the gullibility of the average J6P Konsumer, but this Hard Sell of all the GREAT things having your own Personal AI Agent will do for you seems to me like something I neither need or even WANT.
Do I want an Agent to book my Travel Plans? I never used travel agents even when they were people. Do I want an Agent to respond to my emails and do my online banking? I'm supposed to TRUST one of these cyber secretaries with my Login info and Passwords?
What % of the population leads such a bizzy Calendar-Filling life that they need a Personal Assisstant, either the traditional kind that you can also fuck on your bizness trips or the new AI kind that just talks dirty to you? I think the folks designing these Aps for AI confuse things THEY want to go with their 7 figure salary and what your average J6P who these days can afford maybe 1 vacation every 5 years wants.
If this is what AI enthusiasts think will bring in the ROI to justify a $10T buildout, I think they will be sadly disappointed.
