A good story I stopped reading when it became agentic.
The product naming is becoming harassment. When it's in the title, at least we know. When it's in the intro, we know what we are getting into.
What really pinch is that this project could have easily been done with some scripting, open sourced, and anyone could do it at zero cost, with total privacy.
There is no possible way some light scripting could cross reference data from pictures (not the metadata, the actual pictures) with web information, bank information and personal anecdotes.
I didn't bother reading the entire article, I'm sure multi modal LLMs can do things scripting can't do. But such project can be done without an LLM.
It would in fact make fore a better result, a family wiki with content that's AI generated may overall look accurate, but the sloppy parts ridiculous. If I find an archive I would rather assemble the information myself.
the things people are comfortable delegating are really surprising, but the emotional reaction here is even more so: people are genuinely moved, it is bizarre
