If you were to believe all the rather hot headed articles about AI that’s almost certainly happening now, and in five years time it’ll be running the world.
Today I asked it about national insurance and some queries about my state pension. It knew the wrinkles, knew about COPE, pointed me at the appropriate government website, and when that failed with an error filling in the form, I told it the error and it told me what to do about that and gave me a phone number.
I asked it how to do some reasonably fiddly stuff with my smart devices, and it walked over the problem, told me exactly how to solve it and suggested a better way than I’d thought.
I asked it how to create a web page to do some low level file renaming on my windows box, with checkboxes and a submit button. It produced the html. It then said it would need some php, so it produced that. And when I said I didn’t have a web server installed, it walked me through what to do, where to download it, exactly what to type and what obscure configs I’d need to change to get it all to hang together nicely.
Trouble is, when it looks slick, and believable, it could tell you anything and you might swallow it.
