Maybe not "evolve" but certainly would be different every time, right? If it already knows every conivable way to generate something, it stands to reason it will be different every time, as every request will be a little different, even if it's just the temperature of the room.

As a thought exercise: if I could automatically generate, at no cost in money or time, a "disposable" vehicle for every single trip I took, wouldn't it make sense that it would be different every time, even though the basic requirement (transportation) is the same? Why bother generating a car with A/C if it's cold out? Why have a passenger seat if I'm just going to the corner store for milk?



Yes, but then familiarity is often a positive quality.

Knowing where the AC always is, could be seen as a benefit (even if you don't want to use it).

By aim for iterative improvements, the system could focus on personal contextual features; and the way we end up using a product over time.


Ah, yes, preference! How well will the AI know what we prefer without us having to articulate it every time. Very good, I like this.

Let's turn that on it's head: maybe we engage with AI/AI products that seem to just provide outcomes we prefer. Let's say all AI will probably be able to generate all manner of things, but we might like Z AI because when I ask for Y kind of widget it builds ones I seem to just...prefer more. It seems to "just get me".


I suppose, if your best friend, PA or butler knew you really well, they might have a really good idea of the kind of thing you might like.

If the AI has a very close link to you, and observes a lot of what you do, it might have a much clearer idea of what you want and need.

And if it was linked to your mind ...
