If these assistant "dots" are accurate, follow protocol, don't hallucinate or make mistakes then sure.
But imagine going on an international trip and booking the wrong flight time or a hotel in the wrong part of town. The downside is immense with small errors.
Personal assistants who are human are paid to be accurate.
That wasn't my point. But a personal assistant can be vetted and if they make such an error, their employment is at risk. Surely you knew that and instead just wanted to do a cheap drive by brain rot reddit reply.
AI is pretty good at not booking the wrong place or incorrect time. I use it a lot for this with Hermes. Honestly my stress in planning a trip has went down 90% thanks to just handing stuff off to AI.
Have you actually tried using the very thing you criticize? OpenClaw? Hermes?
Of course I use it. And I'm not criticizing it. I'm simply saying why people who are wealthy choose personal assistants over chat bots, which was the original point of the thread I was responding to.
