The problem is people and their expectations after a sudden technology jump:
- 15 years ago we got smartphones and people expected laptops and desktop computer to go away (within the next few years)
- we got web3 and people expected suddenly banks, tradfi, etc. to go away
- we got ChatGPT 2 months ago and now what? Google dead? School / university irrelevant? Threat to humanity?
There will be incremental improvements for AI, it will slowly become more part of our life, like it happens for these other techs
- Mystery-Machine 4y agoWhen you say "people" I hope that you mean "minority of people". Yes, I've heard people saying that laptops will go away. Some people said that. Yes. Some people. Web3 is just laughable. Again, some people. Google is obviously not dead. However, I think with AI, there's a huge potential. It will change the world, the way some things are done and some jobs are gonna go away and new jobs will appear. Much more disrupting than a f web3 joke.
- rchaud 4y agoLaptops sort of have gone away, in the sense that the smartphone has become many people's first computing device over the past decade. Adults who did not own a computing device before the smartphone, may choose to continue living their lives without a laptop/desktop. Kids who have grown up with iPads and Chromebooks at school may look for mobile options in college first instead of a standard Mac/Windows laptop.
