A more cynical take:
There’s a technology in HBO’s Avenue 5 that I think is prescient: the rich owner of the space ship is pissed off that he can’t talk to people on Earth in real time due to the delay, since they’re pretty far from Earth. In order to appease him, they start using an AI that predicts what the other person would say and “simulates” the conversation, eliminating the delay. It’s a silly plot device used to simplify the script but I feel that’s where we’re headed all in the name of productivity.
Is your manager out of office? No problem! The AI will take over their slack and simulate them with Genuine People Personality (tm).
Pretty soon you’ll come back from vacation to find that your AI doppelgänger was prompt injected and you’re now responsible for the donuts every morning along with your paycut
