Sam Altman Says AI Companions Like "Her" Could Be Coming Soon

Sam Altman says AI could evolve from answering questions into a system that knows users and proactively helps throughout their lives.
He said ChatGPT could gradually learn more about users through years of conversations and eventually become an extension of themselves, with future AI potentially observing more of a user's day and acting more like a personal companion.
Altman said AI proactively pushing useful information instead of waiting for questions feels like something that could arrive soon.
