What happens if you ask an AI how much it knows about you?
Steven: Hi there! How’s your week going?
James: Hey! Well, I’m just waiting for the weekend to see if I can unwind a bit!
Steven: What’s wrong?
James: Nothing special, just work. I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, but nothing major.
Steven: That’s what I was going to say, you’re always like this, aren’t you?
James: Yes, basically...
Steven: It's been a long time since we talked.
James: Yeah, that's true... I always think about writing to you, but then for one reason or another, I end up forgetting.
Steven: Yeah... yeah, we’re all the same.
James: Well, how are you?
Steven: I'm good too, also very busy with work.
James: Hahaha, I see we’re all in the same boat!
James: So, what are you up to these days?
Steven: Well, I’m now starting a company with a couple of friends I used to work with at my previous job, using artificial intelligence.
James: Oh, so you’ve left that virtual currency thing behind?
Steven: The blockchain? Yeah, that already had its peak... now it’s outdated.
James: Yeah, I remember when you were all about those bitcoins...
Steven: Yeah hahaha.
James: Always saying to buy because it was the future...
Steven: Well, I still think the same, that it’s the future, but it’s true that the entire ecosystem built around it has faded a lot.
Steven: So, you’d still do well to hold onto some Bitcoin.
James: You know I’m totally useless with technology...
Steven: Yeah, haha.
James: For example, what you just mentioned about artificial intelligence... I’m the same. I’ve heard about it on TV, at work… but don’t think I actually understand what the heck it is.
Steven: Well, what we want to do is task agents trained to perform operations that help people in their daily lives.
