> nobody cares about your health as much as you do
This is true about not just health, but literally everything. That's one reason AI is a big deal even when it's subhuman in performance. It empowers the individual to take care of themself (with as much "effort" as they'd like) rather than relying on another human.
Some examples:
- your health.
- your home.
- your children's education.
- your car.
- your finances.
- your (and your family's) safety.
- your elderly parents' welfare.
> That's one reason AI is a big deal
Remember when the new "personal computer" was the big-deal that was going to express your goals and act for your welfare? Yet today they're mainly spying on you and trying to dictate what you see and think.
The same corrupting forces will come for "personal AI", which is a political problem one can't passively delegate.
Mainly? If your computer is the net negative you claim, why are you using it?
