TechTakes

On the subject of AI agents, I saw a baffling commercial (or well half saw it several times) where they where trying to sell I think AI powered phones where they had the revolutionary AI agent idea of randomly feeling like you should meet up with friends, then just go to your friends and tell your phone that it should reschedule everything they had planned for a day later. Which baffled me in various ways, as mentioning this to your phone doesn't do anything, you can't reschedule without input from other people. Sure I might not want to go to my doc appointment today, but I can't just tell my phone 'hey tell my doc I will do it tomorrow not today'. And this is ignoring the fact that with AI reliability you need to actually check they did it correctly. It might have forgotten the order of the days, I mean it is a technology that already has failed on the most basic task. Just a very strange commercial, disconnected from how modern agendas and time works.
