Not sure why you’re talking about it doing literally everything for you. I’m sure you can imagine a scenario where it handles annoying things for you and leaves you free to do things you enjoy instead.

Maybe it gets 10 car insurance quotes for you based on 4 models of car you’re considering.

Or figures out which psychologists in some travel distance of you actually take your insurance, are taking new patients, and what availability they have.

I can think of a ton of scenarios where a capable and reliable AI agent could make my life simpler.

But, is "making my life simpler" actually worth the (ultimately) trillions of dollars that will go into AI in the next few years? Not to mention that he's calling AI "superintelligence" in the first few paragraphs, then qualifying it by talking about personal assistants.
