I concur. I had "inherited" the sets of my 10 years older brother, and they where a pain to play with. It was sometimes impossible to separate the pieces, especially if it were plates with no leverage and nothing to grip.

How could the AI possibly know what I want to put in? The whole point of note taking and ordering and rearranging data is that I have the control over it. And by that a better understanding.
Very interesting. I did the treasure chest emoji proposal back in 2018.
Back then the committee was very determined not to let in more emojis – for the treasure the official response was that Unicode already had money symbols and that this should be more than enough for all use cases.
Looks like they caved in now and just adding more clobbers left and right. Half of me is happy to finally have the treasure chest, but the other half is sad, that somehow now they added it, when we could have had it 8 years ago!
I've seen tech like this on display at the IFA already 15 years ago. Forgot the name, but it was pretty hyped at that time. You could even demo it live. Sure, it was only to steer a sidescrolling video game character, but it worked great with as little training of half a minute or so.
Anyhow, Alterego just seems like another vaporware product, that will never enter or even begin to penetrate the overall market. But let's see!
There already is a format that is plain text and preserves the semantics: IFC. That's what it was made for.
