You missed a key word on there and that's making decisions - you need to make dozens of decisions a day when faced with new and limited information.

If you rely on AI to make those decisions, at least with today's capabilities, you will quickly see how sub optimal the results are.

They're not until they are. No doubt they are working on something and have better resourcing than the AI labs

The fact that it doesn't work well today doesn't invalidate the user need. Not everyone wants a terminal style interface. Traditional UX makes more sense especially if say you are accessing existing plugins and say kicking off a scheduling task - no way would I want to do that via a chat interface if I have the option.

I think the notion that it's the worst piece of software is a bit of a stretch here. I've used various streaming music players and Spotify has been the best by far. Doesn't mean it's perfect.

I get that not all edge cases (eg swipe gestures) are bullet proof but that doesn't make it terrible software.

At what cost difference?

Don't be dramatic. Gemini is fine. I have the Google voice setup all throughout my house and haven't had any issues major enough that would want me to keep the original assistant.

You've hit the nail on the head, it's a conditional defenition, rather than an absolute one.

OpenAI or Anthropic are not anywhere as well funded as Google. Apple already has everyone in their pocket via the ecosystem, they just have to not crap the bed. They value stability over the competitive component here.

More like 7-8 digit salary, in the case of the CEO's direct reports at Uber

And speed light cameras

I could see creative being fun, but if I had to upvote another area it would be health (nutrition, sleep, diet, etcl

Just saw a few of the clips from 101 and think you've curated pretty good content here. Even beyond initial learning, I like to revisit good content / lessons every now and then.

Any plans to add other subjects?

Yup cooking and cleaning are great ones.

Also good on walks or commutes.
