    It sounds like a very useful, beneficial application - though as a Be My Eyes volunteer, I’m a bit sad that my chances of being useful will drop even further.

      I was called a few times, but the last 3 or 4 times it happened always at the exact same hour when I was putting my kid to sleep so I could not answer. And now I am not called anymore… 😥

      I think it’s because AI has been shoehorned into many areas where it doesn’t belong and can even be dangerous. Probably just a (perhaps justified) kneejerk reaction to that.

      However, I can see this being an actual good use of AI, provided the limitations are clearly communicated. Doesn’t look like they’re replacing human volunteers either.

        Yea, this sounds like a pretty reasonable application to me. There’s probably a lot of small, minor things that people wouldn’t necessarily want to bug a volunteer with.
