What would make an AI tool most helpful for you?
Hey everyone!
I hope this is the right place for this. I really want to build a tool that will actually be helpful to people, and my post keeps getting removed by mods.
I should start by saying that I’m not a fan of AI in the whole “replacing the workforce” sense. It should be used to enhance the workforce so that people can be at their most productive.
That being said, I’m a professional with RAGING adhd and many signs of autism. I work in the tech industry - somewhat adjacent to AI development.
There’s an opportunity here to build an extremely functional tool for those of us with executive dysfunction.
In an absolutely ideal world, what would be the most helpful for you in a tool like this?
Edit: I think I may not have been very clear in what my hopes were here. Let me clarify a little bit!
I don’t want to make a tool that tracks your every moment and movement. I want to develop something that helps you coordinate your life without being intrusive.
Everything would be customizable - such as how much the AI can access or retain. How it learns about you. What it offers as help.
I’m trying to propose AI as it *should* be: a tool to actually help keep objectives and interests in order if that’s what someone wants.
My goal in this is not to force something on people who don’t want it. If it’s not your thing, that’s okay!!! I’m jealous that you’re able to keep your life straight without tools!!
I personally know that an AI assistant would likely help keep my life straight. A perfect example: my son’s school sends out 9000 newsletters a week (obviously hyperbole). I don’t open them because 95% of the time it has nothing to do with my son.
But what if I could let an AI know that my son is in a certain grade, has certain interests, is part of certain clubs, etc. - and the AI could scan the emails and see if anything in them was relevant to him. And it could learn and adjust!
So yeah, that’s more what I’m going for. I know it’s not for everyone!!! I’m not trying to sell it to people who don’t want it. I’m genuinely trying to get a read on ways it may be useful to people.
Maybe it truly won’t be, and I’m barking up the wrong tree.
But I know that having a tool to help coordinate my life would be invaluable.
Update #2:
I want to thank everyone who gave feedback, positive and negative. Again, this was an idea in its infancy and I was thinking of ways to make it useful to more people than just me.
I absolutely get the hatred for AI. I was considering ways it might actually be helpful rather than… slop. Compiling rather than creating, as it were.
Thank you guys for taking the time to respond. It actually means a lot to me that you’d take a moment to express an opinion on my idea!
