If I take #AI out of the context of its resource costs and threats to art and truth and think about it purely from the convenience aspect it feels like talking to the computer on the Enterprise in #startrek .

"Computer, compile all the puns in the works of Shakespeare and cross reference them with cultural reference from that time."
or more specific to my daily use: "Computer, enable a vpn connection to Norway for this one app and lock down it's connections to avoid any data leaks."
That feels pretty cool. I wish it could be just that. I don't see a way to get from where we are to there safely, though. And the costs aren't worth the convenience.

@tomasino They did not think to bring out in Star Trek that being on board a ship (and likely anywhere else in Federation space) is being in the most disutopian surveillance state imaginable: the ship's computer knows where everyone is and what they say and do all the time, even down to the heartbeat and level of conciousness. Privacy: ha ha.
