I would really love to see an integration of science, or at least my fields of interest (agriculture, aquaculture, soil science, chemistry, botany, biology) but I would really like to see it work with something like Siri.....

ie; I want an AI Digital Assistant that can do what Google, GS AND Siri does, combined with some additional basic tasks like reminders, alarms, taking notes etc.

I think a free version of this would take off, , and perhaps a professional paid version would be purchased by people that work in the relevant industries which would support you and your team, as well as the free users.

For example - I have a diary which I use, I always have notepads and pieces of paper here and there, I have whiteboards, my computer and files of course, and then my books, google etc etc - I need to have them all amalgamated and backed up, shared across my devices.....I want a digital assistant to do that!

example continued; - I am in the back paddock of the farm and I am planting a new variety of tomatoes.........

A digital assistant would, at my voice prompt, record the time, date, variety and location of the plant. It would also save any notes that I may mention, let's say soggy ground, or hard clay......

The digital assistant, at any time I asked, could tell me what is planted at any location, and when etc etc

It would remind me when to prune or harvest.....it could give me tips or instructions of prompted.

It could have access to my last soil test and make recommendations.

It could tell me good companion plants, it would know the sun directions, upcoming weather.

It could regularly scan news articles and alert me when anything relevant to this tomato and it's environment appears.

Many (most?) people do not have the education required to understand scientific journal articles, which use highly specific terms that are often unknown to anyone outside the field as well as critical statistical evaluations.

"Stop being lazy" is a take that is both incredibly ignorant and incredibly elitist.

Man I thought AI was going to kill transportation and delivery jobs first but creative jobs seem likely to be the first to go.

Musicians, writers, interior designers, animators, CGI asset artists, graphic designers, web devs.

Shit even programmers aren’t safe and I thought they’d be the last to go.

This works well at returning relevant abstracts for the test questions I asked. However, it didn't give me "an answer" to any of them, just the abstracts of papers where I might be able to find the answer. In that regard, it doesn't offer much beyond existing resources for search.

Next time I have a genuine research question I'll try it out again and see how it compares to my usual methods.

This concern is overflow. That's exactly what we are doing by using search engines on the first place. Unless open source, we don't know how the algorithm works, we don't know what to they prioritize or censor. Google even offered to do a censored search engine for China, proyect firefly, we don't know if they don't use a similar type of technology in their main search engines. That logic also applies with the people behind the result that the engine provides. We don't know their motives, biases, conflict of interests, unless you do a background check of every author of everything you read. Trust in scientists are in an all time low because now is easier to find all the BS scientists had said which put into question their credibility. I lost all respect for Neil deGrasse Tyson after all the disingenuous stuff he publishes in his Twitter, because he thinks he's an expert in everything.
