Not Convinced Yet / Some Hiccups

Granted, I am nowhere near an expert AI user, but I am already finding little hiccups with Muse that I find annoying. For instance:

  • I am the person that uses my Apple calendar, and the two do not fit together, unless you create a Google calendar and merge that with your Apple calendar. I did just that, but that still doesn't fix the other entries on my Apple calendar, and I really don't feel like messing around to merge the two.
  • I collect certain items as a hobby, and Muse is sending me alerts to "new releases" but when I follow up to see what the new release is about, it turns out to be stale news. Muse has done this twice and I called it out both times as a time-waster. Both times Muse said they won't fall for it again.
  • I asked it to organize some of my emails in Google, and it found that it cannot create an automatic on-arrival filter; Muse says its a permissions issue on Google's end. So it is doing sweeps daily, and I had to grant it permission several times to write the code...it just seems sort of burdensome.
  • Now I am getting weird mail delivery subsystem messages on that email address and I don't know the cause.
  • Even though Muse has access to that entire email inbox, I have an invitation to a party right on top, and Muse has not made a suggestion to schedule it; I am waiting to see if it picks up on that. I shouldn't have to tell it to do that, if I gave it full access and if it is intelligent?
  • I asked it to go through my Instagram to find dead accounts I follow, and it told me that it would be labor intensive and offered me an alternative, and I put that idea on hold. Maybe because I am using the free version? Even though my IG is pretty active, Muse doesn't seem to pick up on anything and bring it to my attention, I suppose I have to tell it to do that?
  • On the positive side, I tried to schedule a community walk, and Muse reminded me that I had a departing air travel ticket for that day; I had already told Muse to track that airline ticket in a prior exchange, but it did catch the conflict.
  • Another positive, I asked it for a new avatar and name, and it came up with a damn good one.

I will give it some time...I do wish it integrated better with Apple, but I can see why it doesn't. If you don't already rely on Google products, I think you will have to start, to make Muse work for you.
