However, my wife, hurrying through a variety of morning tasks that we usually split, asks if I might be able to organize and take out the trash before I engage in self-care. I inform her I can only do this if ChatGPT approves.
ah now I see why he wrote this article
“If you’re feeling the desire to spend a bit more time with your dog, I would encourage you to follow that instinct,” the chatbot tells me.
Based ChatGPT tells the author to prioritize themselves over making profits for Vice.
People when the predictive text thingy predicts text:
This is something I’ve spent time thinking about. People’s lives are so awful that having their every action run by an inescapable AI overlord wouldn’t just be an improvement, it would be a VAST VAST improvement for about 90% of humanity.
Some of us can run our lives quite well, but damn there are people out there who are just bad at doing anything. Things like, “keep your living space clean”, “make sure your children get enough to eat”, “don’t run the air conditioner with the windows open”, that kind of thing. Holy crap the internet let us peer into their lives and oh my god they are terrifying. I just picked up a portable ice maker from someone who left town and didn’t want to pack it. The basin was slimy so I started washing it. There were lots of parts I couldn’t clean so i had to take a screwdriver and take it apart. After making good progress and cleaning out several slimy inaccessible parts, i pried up a small circuit board. Four small live cockroaches were there, snug as a bug. I had to fetch the roach spray to get them all. Then I was like, where there is one there will be more. So I took off the front cover because I wanted to get to the water return anyway. I can see roach droppings and one more inside. So I hose it out with bug spray, and there are two. Then I check the water return line. It was FILTHY. Black mold all inside it, going into the unit. That was it, I noped out of there right then. Put all the parts into a big trash bag and took it straight to the dumpster. I don’t want any roach paratroopers exiting the Trojan horse and colonizing my kitchen. Thank God I did it right away and didn’t let it sit around, they would have gotten a foothold for sure. The really scary part is that the night before was their going-away party and that thing was on the counter getting filled with ice. Good thing I had beer. shudder

What the fuck are you smoking? No it would not.
My read was that these people need someone to tell them to clean their ice makers, replace filters, etc and not necessarily to micromanage literally every aspect of their lives. That said, we don’t need AI to accomplish priority reminders.
I don’t know, I’ve seen some horrific shit online. The six cockroaches and the black mold water line being served to party guests is just what came to mind because it happened yesterday. How about a reminder to “clean your ice maker’s water line with bleach” every six months? That kind of stuff would be really helpful. Hearing cable installers talk about going into people’s homes and what they see, how people live, ugh. And so much of it could be fixed if people could just be reminded with basic ideas. The AI could plan the family budget and make sure Dad doesn’t blow all the money on a 30 rack of Natural Light and scratch-off tickets. Or point out that the frat you’re considering rushing killed a couple of pledges last year in hazing. Or “what you’ve been buying lately is low in nutrition, would you like to add a bag of oranges to your drone delivery?” So much harm done, and so avoidable.
Obviously not this version of AI, this is the “Windows 95” era of AI.
This is just more evidence that we need to bring back multigenerational households, because you’re basically describing a “wise but relentlessly critical grandma” simulator.
You right now: “We can solve alcoholism with an AI chatbot”
The hell are you on lol.
The people who have trouble keeping their spaces clean and orderly (I count myself among them) know very well they need to do it. Having some shitty chatbot fake human concern and tell me to do shit I already know I should do wouldn’t help me in any way. “Hey you should take some time out of your day and organize your closet” no shit I should, unless you’re going to do it for me shut up about it.
Have a customer who recently had me install a new water purification system under their bathroom sink because they’re all organic hippies, the shower and toilet are through a door that I peeked my head into, black mold all over the ceiling and several inches down the walls, the husband is a fucking lawyer and like, doesn’t have to live like that? Their kitchen is also fucking disgusting and the sink is always filled with brackish water because the wife is the only one who does the dishes for four other people.
