Paying bills of the same 3 companies each week is also not something that requires a LLM. In other countries, it would simply be a direct debit transaction or a scheduled bank transfer.
To be fair, direct debit also terrifies me. But I use that one.
I'm more terrified about how much (personal) data people are feeding commercial LLMs. You send Claude your Garmin data and Anthropic will keep it for literally years. And then probably hand it over to law enforcement as soon as a subpoena hits.
I've been using a local LLM (Gemma) to tag my personal documents (invoices, receipts, etc.) and there's no way I'd ever send that data to Anthropic or OpenAI.
Yeah it's a tradeoff... I had Claude Code discover issues my CPA made that resulted in getting over $100k back in my taxes after they amended and fixed my returns. But I had to feed in a ton of personal information for that to work
Now you gotta tell us what the trick was !
