Backlit against a haze of yellow, Holden asks Rachel, "Can you make me a sandwich?" Rachel takes a long drag on a cigarette, and without breaking eye contact, slides over a picture of a sandwich that's imperceptibly yet ineffably fucked up

AI can monitor your behavior on your devices, anticipate when you're likely to want a sandwich even before you're aware you want one, and then order it for you, but it will be a raisins-and-thumbtacks sandwich.

It cannot add feeling. It can only simulate experience or wisdom.

Soon uninventive but unbelievably rich* fools with no understanding of any technology higher than a two-slice toaster (and they still won't know what the defrost function does) will propose, and ask for money* to actualise a service to provide you a sandwich. You DO NOT WANT that sandwich. *I know

in theory, ai should be able to power a sandwich making robot, but in practice it’s probably easier to make sandwiches than to worry about the raser blades the robot accidentally inserts into every 50th one it makes

Yes robots can make sandwiches. AI can not make sandwiches, which is what this conversation is about.

Also the sandwich making AI will probably think that an open-faced egg salad + pastrami on croissant bread with mayo would be a good idea.
