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.

Yea totally - like those Black Mirror-esque (and South Park?) videos of people having AI talk to their partner about deep relationship stuff.

We just built a mechanical parts AI search engine [1], and a lot of what it does it just get the best options clustered together, and then give the user the power to do the deeper engineering work of part selection in a UI that makes more sense for the task than a chat UI.

Feels like this pattern of "narrow to just the good options, but give the user agency / affordances" is far better.

> people having AI talk to their partner about deep relationship stuff. I have read stories about people using AI to write their Tinder messages, eulogies, etc.

Gives me a weird/strange feeling.
