You can tell the people pioneering this are utterly miserable and soulless. "Let's build something to automate all the parts of your life that are actually your life."
What person that was even mildly satisfied with living their life would want this? What's next, agents that play video games and watch tv for me? What's the point?
What scenarios are you imagining where people are automating away the interesting parts of their life ?
Searching for a new movie to watch can be fun in itself, but it ight not be want I want to do at any specific point in time. So what's so bad about having a system offer me a recommendation?
A use case provided in this very article is "plans daughter's recipes and orders the ingredients." The whole act of doing that without automating it is what makes it meaningful.
The trick is to convince young people that it is a good idea before they get a chance to learn that they are literally trading off parts of their life away...

i have and continue to build a ton of automations against my life. my goal is to offload more and more of my "life" to it.
- bills? bookkeeping? reading DMARC emails? yeah, i want to do none of it, but i desperately want these chores done.
- spend time with kids? study interesting topics? eat and drink interesting things? i want more of this.
Thanks to people pioneering this I can spend a lot more time on the things I want.

What a miserable mindset.

Next you can ask the AI how to teach the kid how to get recipes from AI. A real time saver for both of you.
After that, ask the AI what kind of life lessons are good to impart on your kid.
Pretty sure the cooking and spending time with their daughter is the meaningful bit for them. Why would they automate the setup steps otherwise?
