I don't understand this desire these people have to make the "AI" do everything. Are they an adult baby and hate the idea of ever needing to do anything themselves? Do they just want to sit around crying and shtting themselves all day while the AI lives their life for them?
Even if I did honestly believe that the magic word machine was capable of doing anything I ask it to, I still wouldn't want it to just do everything for me like these people seem to want it to. Do they not feel powerless and useless when they get the AI to do something instead of learning how to do it themselves?
[sigh] when will they invent an AI that can fuck your wife for you?

Even if I were flying so much that checking in were some kind of actual burden - and in this fantasy scenario I didn't have a real life assistant who would do it for me - I wouldn't trust the chatbot to do it without accidentally putting me on the terror watchlist somehow.
It’s a combination of shiny new toy, and thus exploring the limitations. And then the occasional discovery of a good workflow. I’ve used it to clean up my folder structure, make powerpoint presentations, and synthesize notes from my hypothesi.s/obsidian vault.
But since these toys are made by American SWE, they just do “caveat emptor” and move on.
