One thing that I find truly amazing is just the simple fact that you can now be fuzzy with the input you give a computer, and get something meaningful in return. Like, as someone who grew up learning to code in the 90s it always seemed like science fiction that we'd get to a point where you could give a computer some vague human level instructions and get it more or less do what you want.

It's a radical change in human/computer interface. Now, for many applications, it is much better to present the user with a simple chat window and allow them to type natural language into it, rather than ask them to learn a complex UI. I want to be able to say "Delete all the screenshots on my Desktop", instead of going into a terminal and typing "rm ~/Desktop/*.png".

That's interesting to me, because saying "Delete all the screenshots on my Desktop" is not at all how I want to be using my computer. When I'm getting breakfast, I don't instruct the banana to "peel yourself and leap into my mouth," then flop open my jaw like a guppy. I just grab it and eat it. I don't want to tell my computer to delete all the screenshots (except for this or that that particular one). I want to pull one aside, sweep my mouse over the others, and tap "delete" to vanish them.

There's a "speaking and interpreting instructions" vibe to your answer which is at odds with my desire for an interface that feels like an extension of my body. For the most part, I don't want English to be an intermediary between my intent and the computer. I want to do, not tell.

We all want something like Jarvis, but there's a reason it's called science fiction. Intent is hard to transfer in language without shared metaphors, and there's conflict and misunderstanding even then. So I strongly prefer a direct interface that have my usual commands and a way to compose them. Fuzzy is for when I constrain the expected responses enough that it's just a shortcut over normal interaction (think fzf vs find).

Genuine question, which part of Jarvis is still science fiction? Interacting with a flying suit of armor powered by a fictional pseudo-infinite power source, as are the robots, and the fighting aliens & supervillains, but as far as having a robot companion like the movie "Her", that you can talk with about your problems, ChatGPT is already there. People have customized their ChatGPT through the use of the memories feature, given it a custom name, and tuned how they want it to respond; sassy/sweet/etc, how they want it to refer to them. they'll have conversations with it about whatever. It can go and search the Internet for stuff. Other than using it to manipulate a flying suit of armor which doesn't exist, to fight aliens, efficient the jury's still out on, which parts are there that are still science fiction? I'm assuming there's a big long list of things, I'm just not at all well versed in the lore enough to have a list of things that genuinely still seem impossible and which seem like just an implementation detail that someone probably already has an MCP for.

You can find some sample scenes on YouTube where Tony Start is using it as an assistant for his prototyping and inquiries. Jarvis is the executor and Stark is the idea man and reviewer. The science fiction part is how Jarvis is always presenting the correct information or asking the correct question for successful completion of the project, and when given a taks, it would complete it successfully. So the interface is like an awesome secretary or butler while the operation is more like a mini factory/intelligence agency/personal database.
