Augmenting Human Intelligence vs Artificial Intelligence

Here’s a fascinating prototype:

It’s also worthwhile looking at Brett Victor’s work that inspired the above:

Also, here’s the latest work by Nielsen:

If these incredibly-complex things work reliably, it would be amazing and I, for one, would be impressed. The reason is that hardly a day passes when some component of my computer use (for management of my home accounts, entertainment and surfing) doesn’t fail - during routine use. It is astoundingly frustrating!!

Last evening, for example, I was lying in bed reading on Kindle App on my iPad (which I hate because of glitches). My wife was trying to log into Hulu to watch a movie and listen over earphones, because I go to sleep earlier than she does. Anyway, Hulu, which she had used on her MacBook Air many times, wouldn’t let her past a screen demanding she permit ‘location services’ in her browser - Safari.

I checked system settings and it was already turned on; I cycled the button off then on angain. Even after restarting the MacBook, the ‘location services’ screen kept coming up. I was so infuriated, I nearly threw the thing across the room! This type of thing is a daily (at least once) occurrence. It never stops! Do you suppose fighter planes as these can perform without such “glitches”??

Really all it would take is someone with money who actually cared about software working.
