AI circle debates personal assistants: KOL says most people don't care about productivity, family assistants are the real opportunity

SullyOmarr argued he's not bullish on personal AI assistants: most people don't actually care about "being more productive," use cases stay shallow ("check my email," "find xyz"), and he himself stopped using tools like Muse — booking restaurants holds no appeal either.
tokumin quote-posted a different take: the real opportunity is family assistants — AI serving the whole household rather than individual productivity, a direction distinct from today's personal-assistant positioning.
