Is it possible to make an AI based product which can be used to make all the big and small life decisions?

Can we make a universal decision maker for all aspects of human life- just like a trusted ally whose judgement you trust more than yours?

Decision making is one of the most time and energy consuming activities and everyday we make hundreds of decisions consciously or sub-consciously. With thousands of services and products for every aspect of our life, and all of them vying for our attention it is becoming harder and harder to make a good choice amidst all the noise, marketing claims and personal preferences. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone else make some of these decisions for us?

For instance, some of the decisions you might be thinking about on a daily basis include-

1. Food- what to eat, where to order from
2. Shopping- what to buy, where to buy it from
3. Travel- where to go, what to do, best time to go, where to stay
4. Learning- what are the best resources to learn something,
5. Wealth- where should I invest, when to invest
6. Health- what should the diet look like, what should be my gym routine
7. Entertainment- what should I watch, what should I listen to
8. Career- should I switch jobs, should I do an MBA

Our decision making is influenced by alot of factors, some of which I have listed below. Is it possible to make an AI product that accounts for these factors?

1. Social Proof

2. Advice from friends or family

3. Self research

4. Past experiences

5. Taking a bet based on odds, stake and prize

6. Marketing

7. Imagining or simulating the possible future

8. Genetics and upbringing

Some problems that I can foresee-

1. Even if the product makes the decision, the outcome of that decision- good or bad will be the responsibility of the individual. Most decisions are not hard because of the information required to process, they are hard because there is a cost and risk to each decision which we must pay and this cost is what we are afraid of.

2. The hardest decisions are life are the ones where we need to choose between Good and Good or bad and bad. These are options which cannot be compared with mathematical notations like (≤,≥,= etc) because they lie on two different planes. In such scenarios we often make up artificial reasons to justify our decision which do not necessarily have a logical backing because these are the options that we actually wanted to with. Will an AI model be able to replicate this aspect of being a human?

3. We make decisions using a combination of fresh information , past experience, present situation and our imagination of the future. This represents processing of sometimes terabytes of data within seconds. There will be huge technical and ethical concerns whether a product will be able to convince its users to share all this data and constantly keep updating it. There is also a paradoxical question that whether a tool which has all the information and functions like our brain will be as confused as our brains?

4. It would be a really boring world to live in where we make only the most logically best decisions in life suggested by a robot. Life will have no suspense or feeling of discovery.

5. AI models are usually better at Chess like situations where all the information is known and it is mathematically possible to predict the best move. But most of life is like a game of poker where the information could be missing or incorrect. A lot of AI models also depend on feedback to improve themselves, but in life feedback is often delayed, inconclusive or missing.
