I have talked to Siri. Sometimes it correctly interprets what I say, and sometimes it doesn't. Siri has flaws, but that doesn't mean AI doesn't exist.
Got a tip for us?

He believes computers should log every aspect of our lives,...
No. Just no.
Your Mac logs everything you do.....OMG..
No, I mean Siri the artificial intelligence, have you talked to her? There's no intelligence in speech recognition and starting a script when certain keywords occur. My lamp goes on and off when I clap in my hands, it's not an intelligent lamp just a listening mechanism. Artificial intelligence is not what humans program Siri to do, AI is what Siri comes up with on her own. And that's nothing, absolutely nothing whatsoever.
I think you misunderstand the implications of 'log every aspect'.
We are not talking about how many hours since you last rebooted type info, or whether you bought carrots or pumpkins on your last shopping run. Every aspect is several orders of magnitude more comprehensive and potentially dangerous than that.
You want your enemies, or anybody really, to have access to that level of detailed info about you? If you allow that kind of database to be created, then sure as the sun rises, somebody, somewhere, sometime will get to see it and use it against you.
The only effective defence is to not allow it to be created in the first place.
There are also, as others have noted, very good reasons why we forget a lot stuff about our personal history. You really want to be reminded in technicolour detail with surround sound and smell-o-rama about your failings, especially the more personal stuff?
I don't believe you have thought this one through.
I believe we are reaching a limit of what we want personal technology to do for us. For some of us it has already gone too far.
People who rely on tech for information recall have less skills in accessing their own memories. We have two memory centres in the brain, ssd and hard drive or hippocampus and cortex to name them properly. Digging out memories from the cortex takes practice, technology is reducing the need to practice.
It will be interesting to watch over the next ten years how far tech goes and how resistance build against it. I suspect we are human and that we will resist AI and conversations with robots.
