A podcast guest built an AI agent to manage all the logistical conversations with his wife that he found uninteresting — delegating the boring stuff to keep time for real conversations.
The anecdote, shared by siliconcarnes and quoted with "I'll deny being this guy in front of matrimonial justice," has sparked debate over whether using agents for intimate everyday communication is brilliant or dystopian. The episode is available on YouTube and podcast platforms.
