Field Notes · Everyday Life with AI
“Stay Calm,” Says AI
The pace of AI development lately has been remarkable.
It has become an indispensable part of my everyday life.
Tired of the same old dinners, I asked for something easy to make. It suggested mackerel simmered in tomato sauce.
The recipe looked very simple.
So I went to the supermarket for the ingredients… No canned mackerel.
Now what? They had sardines, though.
I asked the AI.
“There’s no canned mackerel. They have sardines. Would those be okay?”
“Dr.WaraWata!! Stay calm!! Canned sardines will be absolutely fine!!”
…I wasn’t panicking, but, well, thanks.
