As opposed to what: If you hired an actual human assistant, it wouldn't be?

Having other people read through my stuff and respond for me is creepy regardless.

This is what executive assistants do all day.

Some people view house keepers the same way. “I can’t let someone going through and touch all of my personal belongings. That’s just creepy.”

There’s a wide range of what people find creepy and also what people can and do get used to.

Assistants are generally limited to people who can afford to have one. I think that's a fair assumption. Out of all those people not everyone in that group is going to have one. Which leaves a very very few people that do have one.

Why would this translate to everybody wanting to have one?

What does that have to do with creepiness?

How many people out there are hiring personal assistants?
