Everyone needs an assistant: here comes Fin, data mining at it's finest?

i’m kinda excited about the idea of personal ai bot assistants as long as i can use them anonymously — i have no desire to be some data packet for marketers to use and upset me half baked bullshit products, of course i realise the engine needs a certain amount of my data to do the processing, maybe even a virtual credit card in my control, fine. i get that but don’t use it for other people to use as an anchor for discoverability and spam phone calls for double glazing when i live off grid. it’s just white noise.

i don’t know if ‘fin’ (great name) will be the one but it’s quite obvious with the power of computing, microphones, ai, alexa style interacting with devices that this stuff is coming in hot, do we want it, maybe? do we want to be able to course correct things if it goes wrong, sure. i do think the subset of society that hates the idea of learning how to use a keyboard to type or scared of clicking the wrong thing will love this however.

the pricing needs work, i mean if your the usual business person on the go, chatty type, have that mind meld before you get on buses, planes or trains and want to transfer some of the mind busy time not locked inside your screen talking bullshit and sharing pseudo faux pictures of forced enjoyment over the weekend with family then it could be perfect, you could get a lot done, a lot planned — i wonder if it get’s smarter over time, where could they take this?

maybe hook into with realtime insurances, nearby work, making coffee meet ups and lunch chats a bit more useful and productive even. the progress of bots and ai will be swift and dare i say it probably a little scary for those not trusting in our ai overlords, trust me, if seeing blue screened windows machines in airports is anything to go by then we are about to add this stuff to cars that drive themselves, drones that are armed and god knows what else is coming down the wire.

what's your thoughts about how AI will impact your life, do you use it a lot already?
