I think you have a point, but i also think it would cause a hemorrhage of skilled users. Especially because it would become a very easy tool for increased corpo control over your device. Suddenly your ripped TNG dvds that are indistinguishable from pirated ones are no longer accessible by you just going to your well labeled file location. Now you have a really convenient os that you can tell in plain English that you'd like you pull up some star trek and it says ok and tries to download a streaming service app. You tell it that you'd like to watch the DVD rips you have of it instead and it tells you that those files have been locked for possible copyright violations.
That's just the scenario that came to mind immediately.
I agree. However, at the same time, I recognise that when the first OS with GUI was released, people were saying the exact same thing.
In its current form, the agent will be run locally (requiring a device with an NPU), so corpo won't have any access or control to your device.
It would be impossible for an AI agent to distinguish a ripped DVD from a home-made recording, so that's not possible.
Also - it's not replacing the GUI. You can still do everything manually if you prefer that.
I'm imagining this so hard right now.
I honestly don't understand the relation between these two quotes and your comment. Could you elaborate?
