AI Is About To Completely Change How You Use Computers
GatesNotes, Thursday, November 9,2023
I still love software as much today as I did when Paul Allen and I started Microsoft. But-even though it has improved a lot in the decades since then-in many ways, software is still pretty dumb.
To do any task on a computer, you have to tell your device which app to use. You can use Microsoft Word and Google Docs to draft a business proposal, but they can't help you send an email, share a selfie, analyze data, schedule a party, or buy movie tickets. And even the best sites have an incomplete understanding of your work, personal life, interests, and relationships and a limited ability to use this information to do things for you. That's the kind of thing that is only possible today with another human being, like a close friend or personal assistant.
