> Struggling to start boring or complicated tasks? This is absolutely absurd. If we are reaching a point in society where we need an "AI Coach" to help us do boring and repetitive tasks, it means we have become true cogs in the machine whose sole purpose is to further technology. How is it that after all this fancy stuff like advanced computers, we are still working on mindless, repetitive tasks? And in fact they see…
To be fair, you added "repetitive", the text said "complicated". Also "writing a shopping list for a party" can be boring (or at least I might definitely enjoy some external support), it doesn't turn me into a cog of the "system", or does it?
It is a step in that direction. It is one tiny step to making you less dependent on others. Yes, that single step may not seem like much, but over time, it transforms the social act of a party further towards being a commodity. More resources and more energy are put to use so that you are less likely to ask another person for help. And then there's the matter of having to interact more and more with technology, and spend less time without it, which itself transforms you into a person more habitauted to interact technologically.
Perhaps the next step will be a party where some of the participants are AI, or where some of your friends join by virtual reality. Or perhaps some of them will have an AI assistant that will help them complete their sentences so that they don't have to be fully present, or it will help them show the pictures they took, lots of which have been AI augmented.
The point is that all these small steps lead to the greater mechanization of the human being, which destroys the possibility of more genuine relationships and community.
