[ExI] AI Foundation launches AI.XYZ to give people their own AI assistants

[MB]

Hmmm.  Makes me squirm a bit.

If/When I discover a friend/relative has fobbed response to my emails to
AI, that's the end of my involvement in anything other than "lightly
surface" interactions.  Reminds me of writing a letter to my congressman -
the response is by someone else, canned, and often does not address the
issue.

Unfortunately the reference to Deepak Chopra AI did not help... I have
http://www.wisdomofchopra.com/
bookmarked for when I want a lighthearted giggle, though I'm sure the AI
Deepak Chopra is quite more sophisticated. ;)

The last sentence in the article was a turnoff. How long before anything
"not 100% acceptable" (to whom?) would be sniffed out and reported?

Regards,
MB
