Does AI still feel like too much work to you?

2•GavinRatta•1h ago
I've been thinking about this for a while — every AI tool I use still requires me to explain myself every single time. What I want, what context I'm in, what I need done. It feels like the AI adapts to nothing. I still have to adapt to it. I'm 16 and exploring whether this is a real problem people face — where AI does the work before you ask, based on data you already have on your phone (calendar, reminders, health). No prompt engineering. No explaining yourself. It just knows. Is this something you'd actually want? And honestly — what would make you trust something like this enough to use it? Not pitching anything. Just trying to understand if this problem is real for others too.

No. The things I ask ai to do have nothing to do with my phone. I use it for work and projects.

One thing that will always be true is it will need context from somewhere to get started. When it comes to the context of what you want, you will either need to give that directly, or give it blanket access to everything on your devices for it to infer what you want from that context. IMO, the latter solution will always be messy and probably not give great results overall due to undesired self-reinforcing patterns like what happens with algorithms. They tend to funnel you into isolated niches if you let them. I prefer to use AI directly as a tool for specific projects rather than to organize my life for me.
