> And that logic will last you for years.

A lot of desires that require computation might not be so "logical" in nature, at least not in the automation kind of things.

I use a lot of computing for entertainment purposes and leisure activities, like reading news/ebooks, watching shows/movies, listening to music, gaming, clothing/furniture shopping, going into all kinds of rabbit holes etc. The HN link from GP was such an example.

How could any automation through other physical input help there? Sure, there is vector similarity and recommendation engines, but how could any sensor interpret my aesthetics and my desires to belong/grasp/play/participate?

That sounds exactly like the empty sci-fi promises that current AI companies are betting on.
