I've never bought into the idea that AI can magically transform society or that it represents a new age of human experience. Contrary to the hyperbolic declarations of some AI companies, I was immediately intrigued by the idea that AI chatbots and tools could take care of some of the boring, tedious aspects of life and free up my time and energy for more of the bits I like.
Life is full of small, boring decisions and tasks. They're not hard, just relentless. I like gardening, but would struggle to plan one from scratch. I like going on walks with a dog and a baby, but making checklists beforehand isn't the reason.
