Transcript

Screenshot of a Bluesky quote chain.

The first post, by @DKThomp on Twitter, says: "Fascinating @benthompson vision of the future of the Internet—i.e., 'The Agentic Web' Scenario: Before I go to sleep, I tell ChatGPT 'Plan my 5-year-old's birthday next Saturday, budget $500. When you've made the reservation, email these 20 ppl a printable invitation to attend. Also my wife wants to go to England in mid-July. Find 5 plausible flights for the family and make several distinct itineraries. Finally, pls edit this work memo.'

When I go to sleep, the Al agent negotiates slots with two bowling alleys, buys a cake, emails printable invites, plans the trip, copy-edits, etc."

It is quoted by Drew Harwell on Bluesky: "Wouldn't do this in a million years".

This quote is then quoted by @cinemashoebox.bsky.social: "Waking up to 20 angry parents of my son's friends wondering why they've been sent an invitation to a BRITOTHDYA PRRRYT featuring a picture of Elsa with three eyes and tits bigger than her head. meanhile my wife is boarding a plane for her 176 hour flight to England via four layovers in Antarctica"

Is it really that hard to pull up a couple of websites to search for flights? What is this negotiating he's talking about anyway? Since when has haggling been part of buying plane tickets?

This magic A.I. also has a list of 20 kids to invite to a birthday party, you still had to spend the time teaching the bot who you wanted to email.

Yes it would be nice for normal people to afford a secretary or buttler type but ai isn't there yet it needs more time to cook and stop shoving it into things unneeded

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable having a secretary plan my kids' party (if I had any). It's not really appropriate to mix your work and personal life that much.

That's why I mixed in butler I'm not exactly sure what kind of help/assistant would fill role but if we can't get more time off more help would be nice

If you use AI to plan your day, you deserve this.

"176 hour flight to England via 4 layovers in Antarctica" THIS is how you do comedy.
