Why would I want AI to have such knowledge of my life?
Why aren't people who make these things more socially aware of what people need/want?
I want tech companies to have less knowledge, power, coercion, and control lorded over me. Not more.
Their privacy policy lists OpenAI as one of their partners for data processing, which indicates that this is happening not on your device, and data is also shared with third parties. For me this is the main counterargument against apps like these. I want to feel free to post any information into this without thinking about who may read or use it. Local is the only way to go for software like this in my opinion.
They say in their about page: "We will never monetize your data. We will never monetize your attention. And we believe that the only way we can build towards the future we envision is through the continuous reinforcement of mutual trust and respect.

“Eventually, Mei decides she’s had enough of Dot interfering in every aspect of her life, uninstalls Dot, and goes about her business as usual, determined to interact with reality in a more wholehearted way.”
I'm fine with assistants, but assistants that insinuate their way into your life like a friend or a trusted companion are fuckin weird as hell. There are so many sci-fi movies/series where there's a loner and a pretty advanced AI, and you know how they literally all end? With the loner finding friends! This stuff sucks; it's extremely not rock and roll. This product and others like it are deeply unhealthy and inhuman. Your most intimate relationship shouldn't be with a computer that remembers everything about you and lives to serve you.
> And when it's time to buy her textbooks, Dot is there to help. "[... Bookends and Beginnings is] a highly rated bookstore that's a 25 minute walk from your current location."
In what future does your AI-powered product exist but there are still dead-tree textbooks!? Even if Z-Library is off the table for "legal reasons", you're talking about a digital Aristotle. Have some vision for heaven's sake.
This is the most likely-to-be-Sherlocked[1] thing I've seen in a while. And when Apple does it, the processing will be done on-device. [1] https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sherlocked
I remember Sherlock... Looks like Apple already has already been working on it with their Journal App (in Beta now). [0] [0] https://beebom.com/journal-app-iphone/

the problem with voice interfaces is.. How does that work, in public? Late at night when the family is asleep? In noisy environments? During meetings or movies? During conversations with other people? Movies/tv shows voice interfaces work well because the environment and situations where it happens is 100% controlled and driven by plot. The real world is so much messier...
Members of my family speak perfect English, but have an accent. To this day every auto-transcribed voicemail of theirs is just total gibberish.

I'm guessing it'll hallucinate things about you that it doesn't know. This might be a mixed blessing: it could introduce you to things you weren't aware of, but it could also be annoyingly inaccurate.
well humans also hallucinate or assume things they dont know or on how they remember it so that's alright.
