Re:Ask HN: Can we build Ironman's Jarvis with 2019 tech? by vSanjo on Thursday May 02, 2019 @05:16AM (#19806058)
I completely agree.

A friend once said all we need is 'the sinew between the questions'. Connecting them (contexts, intents, etc) and making it close to 1.0 probability on decisions through the entire conversation.

I think the 'marble rock' of Jarvis is there already, and with ML/AI we can likely make it 'David-shaped' but the refinement, 'warmth' and complexity of Jarvis is man-hours that would likely be better spent elsewhere.

I'm not sure I get your references (marble rock, David-shaped).

It's a reference to Michelangelo's David and this:

Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to reveal it.
