I pitched the idea of an AI clock at a meeting once. Basically you ask what time it is and the AI checks it’s LLM and then confidently tells you the time it thinks.
Now, do you believe it?
Take it a step further and have AI set meetings for you or tell you what is on your calendar.
Do you trust it or do you check your calendar?
The amount of trust we are putting into a machine that is effectively a probability script is mind boggling.
People keep telling me “That’s not how you’re supposed to use it.”
And I keep having to remind them, “But that’s how it works.”
Are they saying that that use case is a waste of resources or that its not reliable in that context?
Because in 1: people absolutely do use it like this down to “what should i get for lunch?”
And in 2: yes, this is the fucking point. If it lies to you about the time amd date then why do you trust anything else it vomits back at you?

Yet there are people who believe in agentic AI, and I think I heard that some are actually using it in their daily lives. Not sure I believe them.
