'Discussions with Amy - and other bots'

Anonymous — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 21:13:24 GMT

the above from Technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones from BBC news (generally Radio 4)

1st an apology from me ... = ... I am not skilled in putting up a blue link ... but ... came upon this item of tech news whilst perusing a very recent blue link of @jonsie's maybe the one about the retraction by a big USA cinema chain re: texting in their cinemas

Amy is a virtual PA, I don't personally particularly like the word bot as it conjures up the word bum for me ... Rory's report is quite fun to read, like the 1950's style monochrome pic of a female PA with a Filofax on the desk in front of her

I must admit, reading this made me giggle.... Rory Cellan-Jones did not seem all that impressed with Amy Ingram (AI)

"So how did it go? First I handed Amy control of my diary, and gave her a few parameters about where and when I like to have meetings (though the truth is I prefer to avoid them altogether). Then I set about emailing colleagues to suggest appointments. The idea is that Amy knows my calendar and when people come back and suggest different times can work out if that fits with my schedule.

But so far, it isn't working too well. First, she's rather a slow worker. It seems to take hours for her to respond to meeting requests. This morning for example I asked her to shift the time of a meeting with Tech Tent producer Jat Gill back an hour because something had come up. At the time of writing - well past our original meeting time - she still hasn't responded".

Still I suppose we have to start somewhere @Anonymous?

Interesting stuff, tbh though you'd think that organising meetings would be (should be) child's play in this day and age? There again, maybe I'm believing too much of what's on sci-fi and blurring that with reality... It'll be interesting to see where we are with AI in a decade or so though.
