What happened when I let AI run my whole life for a year

The year-long experiment asked what happens when AI runs nearly every part of life. As a tech journalist, I integrated chatbots and AI into daily routines and work. My wife Michelle and our sons Noah and Alex joined as test subjects. From self-driving cars to humanoid robots and AI wearables, I tried many tools. I kept a rule: drop anything not clearly useful. I even replaced our real dog when my son hugged a robot. AI-generated emails aided work, but AI replies to my wife could backfire. I also read AI-authored literature and tested AI romance and AI therapist.
