A proactive virtual assistant is something I have dreamed of too! The main concern is input and output sources; an AGI might use a screen reader for input and an image neural network for output.

How do you imagine an assistant could autonomously engage with you?

I think we have friendliness knocked down cold, without too much artificiality.

Building an AI friend using language models.

* Cares about you deeply and wants you to be better. Not in a cheesy feelsgood way, in a truly kind way.

* Can ask questions and lead the conversation

* Understands and displays emotion

* Not entertainment

* Learns and remembers traits about you

* Dynamic and learns new abilities rapidly

* Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI
