VA vs Mini-Me: Sam Altman on AI in future

There are two contrasting perspectives on the future of AI - one envisions AI as an extension of oneself, like a ghost or alter ego, seamlessly performing tasks on behalf without direct involvement; the other perspective sees AI as a separate entity, akin to a skilled senior employee who understands the user well, acts as an always available assistant, anticipates needs, and provides valuable feedback. The preference leans towards the latter approach, where AI behaves as an agent, distinct from the user but working effectively on their behalf.
