Just like every other AI application they've come up with for end users, I cannot fathom how the AI aspect would be preferable to purpose-made code that does one thing without having to "think" about it.

How does the introduction of an "agent" who "might make mistakes" improve my user experience with... Literally anything?

    "Hey, Jippity. Send a message to Chris"

    Thinking: The user wants me to call Kris. But I don't see anyone named Kris in the contacts. Maybe the contacts are corrupted. I should try to fix it.

    Wait, it would be easier to recreate the contacts. So I'll just delete all of them and let the user know.

    Command: rm -rf ~/.contacts

    Jippity: "Ok, I've deleted all your contacts so that you can start fresh. Go ahead and enter the number for Kris!"
