I helped my mother out with a computer, gave her a mac after she called twic a wee about a windows popup. Eventually she became a grandmother, and later in old age, with dementia she stlll using the mac more or less successfully to google and e-mail. Intentionality, coordination are important for keeping cognitive faculty. It all sounds so easy, but letting her send e-mail through voice could create confusing situations.

We are all creeping toward old age. Let’s be kind to our future selves.

Who's to say the criminals won't use a genAI agent to call grandma and social-engineer her so they can drain her bank account?

This attitude is worse than Apple’s.

No thanks.

Apple is the personified Enshitification among Microsoft.
