This can’t turn out badly.

I’m going to name my avatar Skynet.

The bigger issue is that if your can have your AI assistant do your job while you're in vacation, you'll end up on unpaid vacation permanently

You’ll be able to find a new AI model to train to take your next job.

I was randomly pulling out similar names, but it could be Walter's wife (from Breaking Bad).
