The thing I find the most funny about all of these demos is they outsource tasks that are pretty meaningful ... choosing where to hike, learning more about the world around you, instead, you'll be told what to do and live in blissful ignorance. The challenge of living life is also the joy, at least to me. Plus I would never trust a company like openai with all of my personal information. This is definitely just them wanting greater and greater control and data from their users.

I find the hike itself more meaningful than the searching for it. If an LLM can recommend be me a better hike, I’m all for it.

The word choice here: “you’ll be told what to do” doesn’t really reflect my experience with LLMs. You can always ask for more recommendations or push back.

(As an aside, I’ve found LLMs to be terrible for recommending books.)

I found a big part of what makes doing an activity enjoyable is the time spent thinking/planning involed to make it happen.

For example if I spent a week looking at exactly how to plan my trip, and then finally going out to accomplish it vs just waking up one morning and someone guiding me on exactly what to do

I'm the complete opposite. Nothing enjoyable about it whatsoever. I love going on trips with a friend group where someone takes lead and I don't need to be involved in the planning at all.

I think thats a different enjoyment which is just having a good time with friends or perhaps doing something you havent done before
