This is something I really hope can be solved.

I long for a “copilot” that can learn from me continuously such that it actually helps if I teach it what I like somehow.

And what will your role be, then?

I’m not sure what you mean? I have goals that I want to achieve; lil ai buddy comes along and helps me, over time buddy becomes better able to help me do stuff.

What do you mean role? Person who does stuff I guess, same as it is now.

Teacher.

Why you, of all the other possible teachers? Models don't need individual teachers.

Because I'm the one employing it? A model which makes a "delete production database" mistake clearly needs to be taught not to do that, and the person whose production database was deleted ought to be able to teach them not to do that. This seems quite reasonable to me.

So everyone will need to teach their models again and again not make the same mistakes? ;)

Everyone has different mistakes that are important to them, and not everyone agrees on what is a mistake. Witness how employees from FAANG often don't do well at startups, because they've been taught the wrong lessons.
