I compared Bee’s version of my day with my diary entry. I wrote about trying Paddington Bear-themed marmalade sandwiches in our office kitchen. (Not a fan. I did, however, note that the strawberry-flavored shortbread cookie was excellent.) I wrote several paragraphs about a sensitive text conversation I had with a friend. Bee never picked up these moments because memorable things aren’t always spoken aloud. It made me wonder: in a hypothetical future where everyone has a Bee, do unspoken memories simply not exist?
I liked reading this part because I had not considered that consumers of these products would have an expectation of their device to document their thoughts.
It makes sense though, doesn’t it? I imagine someone going in knowing it’s machine learning doesn’t have too many false assumptions, but they are being programmed in a way to mimic humans. The voice recognition part has come an incredible long way and I would not be surprised that this makes the uninitiated expect more of the language model than actually is there.
In this era of atomic isolation, even I wanted to believe it’s true. Having an algorithm that remembers my name through reboots would deepen the sense that there is a pretty developed entity helping me. Luckily I skimp on the premium versions.
