Totally get the resentment. However, I'm particularly excited about the benefits this could bring, especially for people like my grandma with dementia. She could say, "Print my shopping list," or "Can you write down my son's phone number?" Only thing missing for now is smarter home assistant devices as Alexa is too dumb to handle such requests. :/

It's sad how jaded hn can sometimes be. I love the idea and I think there are so many ways it could be useful.

The results could be interesting...

Mom? Are you cooking crystal meth at home, what is all this for? And why did you bought 500 boxes of condoms?
