Great for turning complex into simple.
Bad for turning simple into complex.
I think my largest gripe with it is it can't actually do anything. It can just tell you about stuff.
I can ask it how to change the desktop background on my computer and it will 100% be able to tell me, but if you then prompt it to change the background itself it won't be able to. It has zero ability to interact with the computer, this is even the case with AI run locally.
It can't move the mouse around it can't send keyboard commands.
Um… yea? It’s not supposed to? Let’s ignore how dangerous and foolish it would be to allow llm’s admin control of a system. The thing that prevents it from doing that is well, the llm has no mechanism to do that. The best it could do is ask you to open a command line and give you some code to put in. Its kinda like asking siri to preheat your oven. It didn’t have access to your ovens system.
You COULD get a digital only stove, and the llm could be changed to give it to reach out side itself, but its not there yet, and with how much siri miss interprets things, there would be a lot more fires
