You can tell the people pioneering this are utterly miserable and soulless. "Let's build something to automate all the parts of your life that are actually your life."<p>What person that was even mildly satisfied with living their life would want this? What's next, agents that play video games and watch tv for me? What's the point?
i have and continue to build a ton of automations against my life. my goal is to offload more and more of my "life" to it.<p>- bills? bookkeeping? reading DMARC emails? yeah, i want to do none of it, but i desperately want these chores done.<p>- spend time with kids? study interesting topics? eat and drink interesting things? i want more of this.
Thanks to people pioneering this I can spend a lot more time on the things I want.
People said this about every new convenience, such as email over physical mail, buying things online instead of in stores, etc. It's a tired argument.
It seems quite clear at this point that important parts of our social and economic fabric are in fact damaged by people buying everything online, ordering food delivery, drive-through windows, streaming movies, and so on
Freedom to decide? Not that humanity is historically great at deciding what brings itself happiness.
What scenarios are you imagining where people are automating away the interesting parts of their life ?<p>Searching for a new movie to watch can be fun in itself, but it ight not be want I want to do at any specific point in time. So what's so bad about having a system offer me a recommendation?
