Exactly, we don’t need it for anything. I have zero tasks that I need automation for on my phone. In fact, I have typically zero tasks that I need to do on my phone at all.
You know what tasks I actually NEED to do? I need to mow my back yard, and I need to install gutters on my house. AI is not going to help any of that, so it’s useless for my needs. Meanwhile, it is wasting a fortune in energy and an environmental crisis worth of water.
But AI could totally tell you the top rated lawn mowers in stock in your area based on fake bought and paid for reviews to optimize your efficiency at mowing your lawn and increasing the capitalist profit margins of local stores that pay Google for increased foot traffic to their stores.
Commercial for AI: Now you can order a cake while planning your child’s birthday and sending an email to your boss while printing the tickets for your trip to Italy!
My unemployed ass, sitting around in boxers eating cereal at 10PM watching cartoons from the 90’s: Sweet, this is gonna change my life!
Like…what?
The use case for AI assistants seems to be reserving tables at a restaurant.

Paying for parking in my city requires a phone.
You either have to use the QR code, a text message, or call a line with an auto-attendant. There is no physical kiosk on the street to use.
“Need” really imposes some incredibly urgent something.
I actually do love automation, but why use ai for that? Macrodroid, tasker, automate… But hey, they NEED us to need it.

Set a 5 minute timer
That’s really it.
Wow. Is this possible nowadays? What a time to be alive. But can it be also a 10m timer? What about 1m? I’m skeptical…
It depends. 10 is okay. 15 is usually fine.
14 minutes has a 50/50 chance of being 40 minutes.
See? I knew it was half-assed. But maybe i can download an extra 14-min-timer-app?
Like stuff. Don’t worry about it. AI will take care of everything. Now shut up and let us announce 20 more datacenters in peace.
Stuff you say? That’s the thing I like most! I’m so exited. We need more data centers!

So it could do that for me? That’d be awesome, wouldn’t even need my phone for that anymore!
“Gemini, do everything I would’ve done on this phone today, so I can do something else, like plowing your mom or do my taxes”.
I love the future!
