Here’s an example of an AI that interrupts people: turn-by-turn directions. The interruptions are tolerated because the info is so timely and useful. Heck, drivers will shush friends and family to hear the AI instead. So that gives you a sense for the bar for other AI interruptions. It had better be very timely and very valuable if I’m going to accept an AI interruption. That probably means the interruptions are rare in general, at least at first. The iPhone was popular from the moment it was introduced, but people back then did not really think about it the way we do now. The biggest cheers were for a phone (one big demo was voicemail LOL), and a “widescreen iPod.” There was tepid confused applause for it as a “break-through Internet communications device.” Which is 99% of how everyone uses it today.
