> people absolutely do want this - normal people like computing to be simpler.
Of course I want this. I just want to have it myself. Like for the assistant and its data to be truly mine. I don't want Microsoft to run it for me. I don't mind paying for someone to build it but not to operate it. Especially not Microsoft. They're as bad as Google.
I work with Microsoft people daily and they're so brainwashed. They think their company is beyond any reproach, that the products are the best in the market, that using them is a win for us etc.
I hate them and their company with a passion but unfortunately our leadership is easily impressed and not too smart. They just hobble along with whatever Gartner is paid to tell them.
What do you mean for the assistant to be yours? There is a core model somewhere that needs to be trained and the cost/technical requirements are prohibitive for that to be done by each individual. If the model is local, is that enough? The data of course should be yours - and until we solve information leaks in AI (never?), it will have to be or the product has huge viability risks.
Agree on data, which is one of the core issues. The expectation of privacy on your device is very high. But that can change, especially with the rise of web app tools that blur the line between your private space, the company's space, and public.
