You asked about other peopleās uses for having AI. Iāve given you mine - my honest feeling is that it improves my user experience in a number of ways, it makes interacting with voice assistants easier and more error tolerant (it also understands common mis-hearings / homophones etc)
If you donāt like it, you donāt have to use it - thatās the joy of home assistant!
Is ai going to turn on the fan? Or turning down the heating? Or both?
In its current state probably both. If I use a declarative statement like āitās too hotā then the implication is that I am happy for the AI to make decisions on my behalf.
