AI as domestic handyman and tutor

Everyday users report using large language models as on‑demand helpers for home repairs, device troubleshooting, paperwork navigation, and personalized tutoring, effectively outsourcing practical know‑how to AI. These uses are heterogeneous and tightly coupled to users’ existing activities and identities rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all productivity gain. — If AI primarily improves life through many small, diverse personal tasks, policy and regulation should shift focus from only enterprise automation or existential risk toward consumer safety, liability, and skills access.
