To me AI is just a large portion of real-estate taking the top of the search engine and all it does is steal liberal wikipedia answers.
I ain't exactly a fan. Though I can tell you a story.
Because of my recent trials, I can assuage the worries of my family by wearing a smart watch that constantly monitors my pulse and pressure and whatnot.
I think I previously related the time I was sleeping and my chair gave out (as happens to me), wherein I went over backwards, waking up flailing and falling, and winding up in a monkey knot in the bicycle rack position behind my chair... But in the course of those gymnastics, my urine collection bag did not come with me, albeit its connection to my catheter notwithstanding (or withstanding, as in this case). So there I was... monkey knot, bicycle rack, catheter line stretched to a twang in the key of high G... So if ever there was a time to call for help, that was it, so I got on my trusty watch - the only form of communication that is on me at night... And it didn't work. Bluetooth th the phone had failed, as it was wont to do, most all of the time.
Everything turned out alright, and I was fine in a few days. The point being the watch that failed, at what to me, was a highly critical moment... That was a Fitbit III... and it hit the garbage can that very day.
Anyhow, I told you that story to tell you this story:
So I am without a smartwatch, and my fam is freaking out. Dunno what I am doing in this particular genre, so I hop on with Google's Gemini AI in conversational mode. Me and her beat the issue up, considering the parameters and concerns - The reason I needed the watch, that I needed it for disability and health concerns, That I needed on-wrist calling, that I needed absolutely bulletproof bluetooth that would tell me if it failed. And of course, bang for buck, because I am poor as a church mouse these days... All the things.
Anyhow, we beat it up, just like if we was sitting on the porch, And she directed me to the Samsung Watch6 as being the best watch for me.
I followed that advice, did a wee bit of checking on my own, and found one reconditioned by the factory for what I would have had to pay for a next gen fitbit.
I have not been dissatisfied with that outcome. As expected, the only real complaint is going to be batt life... That Watch6 is a hog. True enough, though even with that, if I push it, with my normal use, it will go about 3 days. Not that it ever does. I worked it into my morning routine, and it is on the charger while I have my breakfast every day.
Anyhow, I mean to say I was satisfied with the assistance that the AI provided in that case.
