“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

Except for the medicine stuff

So aside from the things that you can't do, you can do anything.

Even more critically, when I have a problem like that where I don't care enough to figure it out for myself, I call upon the expertise of an actual human that really knows things, not a glorified autocomplete with internet access.

I bet you Google it.

Why yes, I do frequently google things. Searching for proper tutorials and official documentation for technical subjects is a more intelligent thing to do than asking an LLM to do all my thinking for me. As for the actual humans I was talking about there, I meant bringing my car in to be serviced by a mechanic as an example, if I learned the mechanic working on my car was just following instructions provided by chatGPT I would be fucking livid.

Okay? I'm not sure how any of this is detracting from the point I'm making here. You can't do everything yourself. Nobody can do everything for themselves, society is too complicated now. So we pick the things we're good at. Not being good at troubleshooting your PC doesn't make you "stupid".
