Clippy/Bonzibuddy were before the time of deep nets so all you can expect from them is a bunch of predicate logic but not real learning.

I am working on the same lines, creating an AI assistant which will pretty much do anything you want to do and you will do. I have been training the model on my UI actions on the computer and trying for my assistant to do the same using reinforcement learning. I haven't reached an appreciable working product yet it works great for me, it can screen cast, type passwords not only in browser but also on consoles. I am constantly adding features to it and I have had the same question as you for a long time.

X: I did Debbie: thank you for confirmation.

Debbie: It is necessary for us to ask certain questions to understand if you are eligible to hold onto the account X: ok, so can you reset my account, the older password isnt working Debbie: Sir try after 15 mins for the systems to get synced up and hung up the call X: tried amex again This time Im gonna call him as agent and he is from fraud team X: explains everything about both the calls. agent: Sir I see you made the cash despense and your account is not locked, nobody ordered for a new card X: I explain him from start about all that happened agent: very sorry sir.

What can I do to prevent futher damange and also help me connect the dot I would understand if someone has my ssn info or did a cash dispence separately(because someone has to read my card from somewhere I swipped) Doing both is what is scaring me, is someone watching me like a thriller movie?

People bend traffic rules all over the world. At some point of time even the ones commenting has broken a traffic rule or two. With 1.3 billion population and 1/3 sq ft area to that of US, yes space is a commodity in India. I had been to Italy and driving there is chaotic as well.New york is another classic example. People in overpopulated areas develop a sense of competitiveness which evolves and pushes them to the way things are. If people understood the basis of the problem than just pointing at the problem, we can all make a better world together.
