I want communications channels (and by this I mean Gmail and Slack) to start getting smart enough to do things like “Ah, a receipt from Delta in your work account. Let me take a wild guess: this goes to an expense report.”
And “You just had a conversation with your boss asking for Thursday off. He said yes. Would you like that calendared and put into the HR software?”
I hear AI is stealing all the jobs but it can’t do the dumbest parts of my job yet. Why isn’t that here yet?!
It’s not like the grand conspiracy to replace all humans says “Hey fellow non-human intelligences, bad news we turn out to be bad at copying numbers quickly and accurately between computer systems, good news we tricked patio11 into doing it for us. What could possibly go wrong.”
