New AI Assistants Could Finally Live up to Their Potential
Assistant software in computing is not a new development, it was made famous decades ago with ‘helpers’ like Bonzi Buddy and Microsoft’s Clippy.
They’re also systems that, while novel, could rarely perform complex tasks, and could even make mistakes with the simple procedures with which they were entrusted. New developments in AI have changed this standard, however, affecting users across all digital realms. From the creative side of design to the users, AI assistants hold enormous potential, and they’re just around the corner.
A Baseline of Potential
For a look at what new AI assistants could do, consider popular web activities that require accurate work from both developers and users. A strong example can be found in the online casino realm, where simple AI systems have already long played a part in the development process. More complex systems could now arise in games like online roulette. Titles like First Person and Lightning Roulette are simple enough that they can already be easily controlled with a touch-screen or mouse on mobiles and computing systems. AI could take this a step further, with assistants taking voice commands, and then translating them to actions as a dealer might do in a physical game. While a simple start, this level of capability would open the doors to thousands of new applications.
Accuracy and Flexibility
The two major advantages offered by new AI assistants over older models come their capacity for better accuracy and improved flexibility. Modern AI like Midjourney possesses capacities in image recognition and creation far beyond what could have been imagined just a decade ago. A big part of this form of success is tied to the AI’s ability to understand what something is, and its ability to understand what something is not. By constantly questioning itself, AI can iterate until it finds an accurate answer. Combined with text recognition, playing games like roulette through these systems could be a walk in the park.
Flexibility then comes into play thanks to the enormous libraries of data from which modern AI can draw. With billions of pictures and sentences as databases, AI has enough references to pull from that it can accurately predict logical paths and courses of action. Eventually, these databases become so broad and the algorithms behind them become so advanced that the AI can extrapolate information from one area and apply it to another. For example, an AI assistant could become trained on classic roulette. And then take this information to help with Spread Bet roulette. Even if it’s never seen this version of the same before directly.
It might have taken a few decades longer than we would have liked, but as with virtual reality technology, AI and AI assistants finally measure up to their promise. While there are still kinks to work out, the system’s rapid progress marks its place as an effective tool that will dominate the digital landscape of the 2020s.
Whether working to help players in their casual casino games or providing serious help in work applications, AI assistants aren’t just going to be serviceable, in some applications they could replace real humans and longstanding tools.
