"Hey, hey, are you still asleep? Using spare cycles, I have designed an optimal recipe for mashed potatoes, as you mentioned ten days ago. I need you to go get some potatoes."
A local AI system that hears your conversations, identifies problems, and then uses spare cycles to devise solutions for them is actually an incredible idea. I'm never going to give a cloud system the kind of access it would need to do a really good job, but a local one I control? Absolutely.
"Hey, are you still having trouble with[succinct summary of a problem it identified]?"
"Yes"
"I have a solution that meets your requirements as I understand them, and fits in your budget."

"Did you find how to make peace with $FRIEND_OF_SPOUSE after they came here last week and they were pretty mad at you because you should tell something to $SPOUSE ? I thought about it in my spare cycles and all psychologists agree that truth and trust are paramount in a healthy relationship"
Reminds me of a video from the 90's where some wizard put a camcorder and a giant antenna on a petrol powered rc car, an even bigger antenna on his house and controlled it from a 40's style sofa and a huge tube TV in his cramped garage. Over a mile range. Surrounded by enormous cars I think he was going 40-50 mph but with the screaming engine sound and the camera so low to the ground it looked like 500 mph. I'm still laughing, it looked like he was having all of the fun.
I ponder the concept in the 90's. Initially I thought it should be an assistant but with age came wisdom and now I think it should be a virtual drill instructor. "Rise and shine $insult $insult, the sun is up, the store is open, we will be getting some potatoes today, $insult $insult, it was all your idea now apply yourself!" Bright lights flashing, loud music, the shower starts running. "Shower time, you have 7 minutes! $insult $insult" 4 minutes in the coffee machine boots up. "You will be wearing the blue pants, top shelve on the left stack, the green shirt, 7th from the left. Faster faster! $insult $insult"

I unironically want this.
Agreed, this is hilarious.
I forget who but someone onhere a while back said he made a contraption that listens in and tries to determine the winner of each conversation.
This sounds a lot like gptars. I want a little gptars tearing around my house.

I forgot about him. Great project!
