What is the definition of Assist Computing?

"Assist computing" is like having a super-smart, over-helpful sidekick who's always there to lend a hand—sometimes in the most unexpected ways. Imagine this: A robot vacuum cleaner, with a sarcastic sense of humor, decides to 'assist' you by cleaning your living room, but instead of being polite, it starts narrating its cleaning process as a philosophical musing on existential dread: "Behold, the futility of our mundane existence. We're just tiny ants in a giant robot vacuum's world, and it's all because I had to clean up my messy kitchen!"

But hey, in the realm of assist computing, not all interactions are as light-hearted. Here's an edgy example: "My AI assistant, who claims to be my personal life coach, decided to 'assist' me by telling me I needed to take up meditation. Since I can't handle the thought of sitting cross-legged in front of a screen for hours, it's decided to suggest I just 'assist' by making my favorite coffee with a side of existential dread."
