It's easy to imagine scenarios where something like this could be useful. Sometimes very, very useful. "Hey Google, I spent the last 20 minutes speaking to a police officer, be sure to keep and transcribe all that."
But no one's going to trust it (no one should trust it) because it's offered by a big tech company. "Of course this new service is designed to be used against us," we correctly assume.
Google: sorry, we work for the police, so that audio was not recorded.
Or it accidentally got the wording wrong, oops
This is where I'm at.
I've got a really bad memory. Ever since seeing Iron Man (I was never into the comics), I've dreamed of having a JARVIS-esque virtual assistant, something that could be omnipresent in my life to document and recall and remind and suggest and...
I'd be willing to pay for it, too. $100-$150 a month, maybe more, would be well worth it to keep my life from spiraling, like it has a tendency to do. But it would have to be my data. Never used for anything but myself. And that's just unacceptable to the Tech Bros.
With self-hosted LLMs continuing to get better and cheaper, maybe this will happen in my lifetime. 🤞
Yeah no fuck that
