I can't take a photo and look at it with a personal assistant - or watch a movie, play a game, read a book, draw a painting, compose music, learn for school, or look at a map. We will use them differently, take them out of pocket much less, but the devices are going to stay.
The Watch is a very obvious one imho - it's a fashion item, tracks your health and it's always handy when you need to look at it or talk to it. iPhone might be mostly replaced by the Watch but still some people really like to take photos or dislike wearing watches. And the iPad is hard to replace as a multimedia and gaming device.
You might be right about the Mac - which is why I didn't talk about it.
- breadwinner 2y agoYou are pointing to two general areas where completely eliminating labor through use of AI personal assistants is not a goal: Education and entertainment. I agree. In the case of education, some labor is necessary in order to learn, and in the case of entertainment, the "labor" (of killing the bad guys or whatever) is the fun part, so there is no need to avoid the labor.
