On the one hand as a user, I’d love the memory augmentation that would come from having an AI helping me with and recording everything I do. Imagine the benefits such an assistant would give its owner. But would I truly be the owner? And the externality would be all the recording of people around me :/

Neal Shusterman explores this a bit in his series Arc of Scythe where the world is run by a benevolent AI called the Thunderhead. It’s definitely an interesting concept.
My allergy to these assistants now is that none of these are benevolent, in fact I feel that they are largely nefarious with every intent to screw us.
