What Would a Serious AI Product Look Like?

An AI product should probably start with knowing what model (e.g., arch, version, quant, etc.) you're actually using. Opaque providers make that quite hard.

People are constantly complaining about GPT/Claude constantly changing under their apps without notice.

The tone of this article is dumb. Of course there are things that can be improved with LLM interfaces, and certainly UX improvements like better citations and grounding can be implemented. But the idea that what has been built "isn't serious" is asinine.

Show me more than 8 items in the recent history list, so I don't have to manually navigate to the same directory repeatedly (Claude)

I don't trust corporations with my data.

So a serious AI product would have to have my data (contexts, conversations) in a "secure enclave". If backed up, it needs to be encrypted.

I want a context and history that, over time, essentially knows everything about me.

It's one of the things that has been rather fascinating about Claude & Co.— he'll come back with things like, "Since you are already familiar with the ESP32…" or, "You already have a heat press from your work with dye sublimation, that will work nicely to set the inks when you screen print t-shirts…"

(Shades of "Diamond Age"… I imagine it helping me recall things when I am in my old age, notice patterns in my life I might want to break free from, etc.)
