Key Concepts

A user friendly, user centric AI program to help you be a more productive computer user, theres too many "copy and paste" actions to google and chat gpt. Too much time searching for a file in a hard drive or folder with dozens of other files with similiar names. Too many open windows on a computer screen that are poorly managed, too many micro stresses from old operating systems. My goal is to give users the tools to help them bring a little sanity to this chaos. Someone shouldn't look at their computer screen at the end of a workday and see 10 excel spreadsheets, 15 tabs on google chrome, 5 word documents, and whatever else. At the end of the day it looks like some crazy maze of information that somehow was your workday, like your screen is the closet of John Malkovich in the movie "In the Line of Fire." Or that their screen was taken over by a toddler who just opened everything left a mess and then walked away. All of that is lost time, and lost effiency, which costs everybody money in some kind of way.

"AI" What is it?

We live in an age of technological advancement of exponential potential, we also live in an age that is full of misinformation and people who specialize in monetizing misinformation and distortions. This makes defining what AI is and is not almost impossible. As someone who is using AI to write code that creates AI I have learned a few things. AI is personal computing. Computers are incredible machines that are some of the greatest tools the world of art and creativity have ever used. But people are also creatures of habit, the so called "Coming AI revolution" is going to look more like people using their computers differently then some sci fi movie plot. I've learned that AI has some new technoligy introduced into tried and true old linux features. Computers have been able to read and write files in an automated way for a very long time. AI is more of a user interface for this technology, its auto text complete on steroids, it's goolge search that reads and summarizes the google search results for you and prints it out in text. An LLM is Web 2.0 data that is being mirrored back at us as a filter, like an instagram filter, through a google search input. It's not necessarily any "new technology" that will replace humans on computers. But a far more efficient and better way of interacting with the internet and computers.

A bubble?

I remember the "dot com bubble" that existed in the 1990's, tech companies like WebVan went belly up overnight, but even though the company went out of buisness, the idea continued. Today it is common for people to go on doordash, instacart, uber eats, amazon fresh, wal-mart groceries, and be able to order food and products and have it delivered to them within the same day. The current AI landscape on the internet is similiar, some of these companies that have an "ai" app or product will go out of business, but their ideas will continued rebranded and marketed in some other way by a future company. Such is the nature of the technology world. With that said there is a similiar bubble going on right now, it is part subscription based and part ai. The subscription based software that runs off cloud computers and servers is something that also fuels the "ai" bonanza. Rather it be quickbooks, photoshop, canva, chat gpt, or any number of thousands of other subscription pay to use type schemes, it creates a little bit of a bubble. People are being nickle and dimed just to use a computer, this system is fantastic at making money for people, but horrible at making money for other people. I think it also inhibits creativity and innovation. Why would Intuit create a desktop application for quickbooks, that people can just buy once and use for years, when they can charge consumers $20 a month for the next decade. As a company they are going to make much more money as a subscription, then creating a solid software program that people spend $100 on every 3 years or so. The same thing goes for Microsoft Office or Creative Cloud or whatever, these companies will just add some "ai" features to these programs, create a "premium tier" and charge more for the ai version of the software then the regular version. This bubble or way of doing business, is going to make these companies a lot of money, but also will produce a bunch of crap code users don't need but will be paying for. It also de-incentvises these companies from completely re-imagining what is possible, what the computers are capable of, and how their software will fit within the 21st century, and how their companies will grow and monetize within a generation of kids born today who are born into a wrold of the 21st century, probably live to see the 22nd century, and will not know a world without AI.
