When we had our first child every moment we captured felt special.
It was awe inspiring to watch our little human encounter and respond to the world.
The big ones like the first step, the first word, the first laugh.
And the smaller ones like encounters with new friends, grandparents, first time at the beach, etc.
After we had our second it was strange to see the similar reactions.
And we realized how many of these milestone responses were innate. And predictable.
It wasn't necessarily less endearing but a little less magical as parents.
Google's approach is spot on.
And it makes me sad that life's "special moments" aren't just predictable, they're inherently quantifiable by very basic AI.
As we barrel towards an AI enabled future it's going to be bittersweet to unwravel & index the human experience.
