While that's decent, I would wish for something more like, "A boy and his dog" type AI. Having an "invisible friend" that you can speak with and see, who knows everything, is a perfect confidant, who grows with you through life until you are ready to set them down, possibly as a rite of passage into adulthood.

And even then, you could keep in in your computer or phone, be able to talk to it and discuss problems with an intelligence that knows your life almost as closely as you do, but not carrying it with you all of the time.

IDK, I think that would be pretty cool even if the idea of robot nanny scares the pants off of some people.
