Open AI just needs to create & release their own phone with Microsoft's help! H.E.R. the movie phone.

Apple has not innovated in years and a GPT Phone where your lock screen is a FaceTime call like UI/UX with your AI Agent who does everything for you would give Apple a run for it's money! Pick up your phone & see your agent waiting to assist & it could be skinned to look like a deceased loved one (mom still guiding your through life).

To get things done it would interface with other AI Agents of businesses, companies, your doctor, friends & family to schedule things & used as a knowledgebase.

Maybe this is their step towards creating said agents?

I just… don’t want this. I don’t think anyone I know wants this.


Cool, thanks for the comment!

I use chatGPT now for almost everything and when in the car have full back n forth conversations to get things done (or as a knowledge-base) there too. Recently i was discussing with it how do i properly get rid (junk) my old car in Pennsylvania. It provided all the steps and gave me local businesses. Though it didn't call them or interface with them to find their available times/costs, tell me such details & have me instruct it to schedule my preferred choice. Which i wish it did and prompted thoughts how it could do so, as technology that gets adopted mostly is tech that has simplified our lives.

I think my concept above is similar to what was seen in the movie H.E.R. (Joaquin Phoenix & Scarlett Johansson starred) so it's not that crazy or odd. Throwing in skinning it to be whoever like a deceased loved one, might to probably is.


I wouldn’t want my grandmother “skinned” as a bland amalgamation of all of the internet’s text. That’s fucking horrifying.

H.E.R. is a deeply unsettling movie.
