Right after you stopped watching, he books an entire vacation - flights, hotel, car rental, activities - and says he is given multiple options to choose from but shows none of the options, just an itinerary that he quickly scrolls through.

The idea that anyone is going to book a vacation this way is ridiculous. Vacations take extensive thought. There’s no way a voice interface would work for this even if it was the Star Trek computer.

I think is true. I'd want a far better understanding of the details before committing to spend the time and money.

No one ever shows what these should and could actually be used for - incredibly boring and repetitive tasks. "Hey rabbit, respond to the support ticket you just told me about with XYZ". "Hey rabbit, find all of the sales meetings I had last week, cross reference the emails of the attendees with existing emails threads, and then generate follow ups for each. Keep them short, to the point, and read them back to me before you send"

Like where is this? This is what I want. Not some voice assisted way of booking an Uber or some shit.

GPT Store would probably have something like that soon.

Man, the GPT Store confuses the hell out of me. I have no idea what is going to be in scope for this thing lol

Was very hard to sign up.

Thank you for letting me know!

It's a pitch to get VC funding and this is exactly how that audience treats vacations. The idea of saving or planning to do something is just unimaginable to the super rich this is aimed at getting investment money from

It’s not the saving or planning part. It’s the leaving to to some random algorithm to make good decisions part.

If it’s only for super rich people, they already have a human PA
