Personal AGIs could be very good psychologists for humans. If the nano-electronics revolution delivers on its promise, in fifteen to twenty-five years most of us should be able to afford and wear (or have implanted) personal AGI's that can substrantially record all of our lives. Once they have recorded audio, video, and emotional indicators of all or substantial portions of our lives, they will be able to provide us very real advice about what has made us happy, what has engendered bad emotions, what we are doing right and wrong in our relations with others and in our work. They will help us understand the origin of many of our problems, help advise us about how to solve such problems and better achieve our goals, and help remind us when we are straying from what we have told it we really want to do.
What's more they can provide a valuable friend that cares about us -- one that can remember every funny joke they have ever heard, and have the sensitivity to know when each of them might be appropriate.
