Saying that "I'm hungry" is a problem that people will want to pass directly into the computer seems like the opposite of myopia (hyperopia?)

Usually when presented with a problem like a growling stomach, a person will at least make some kind of intention or idea before immediately punting to technology. For example, if I am hungry, I would decide whether I want to have delivery, or takeout, or if I want to dining out at the restaurant, or just cook for myself. Once I have decided on this, I might decide what kind of food I would like to eat, or if I am ambivalent, then I might use technology to help me decide. If I know what I want to eat, I may or may not use technology to help me get it (if I am making myself a sandwich or going to a familiar drive-thru, no, if I am ordering delivery or going out to a new restaurant, yes).

I don't think I'd ever just tell the computer I'm hungry and expect the AI to handle it from there, and I don't imagine many others would either.
