I agree that the pace of change makes such predictions risky, but as these assistants become more capable, and are able to perform more complex tasks on your behalf, I think the need to check their plans becomes more important - at least for a period. For example, if you ask your AI assistant to book airport parking, flights, transfers, activities, and a hotel for a holiday, it'll be a long while (if ever?) before you trust it so much to let it pay for those things without a sense-check first. And visual checks will be a magnitude faster than it reading everything out to you. Edit: and just to be clear, by 'generations' I was meaning tech generations (i.e. of phones, or GPTs) not humans!
