Then again, would anyone have guessed we’d even be seriously discussing this topic 10, 20, 40 years ago?

envisions a future of AI assistance that looks not too far off from today.

It’s also pretty close to Steve Jobs initial vision of computing in the future (https://stevejobsarchive.com/stories/objects-of-our-life, 1983) but my point is that whatever it is we call AI now became reality so much faster than anyone really saw coming. Even if the pace slows down, and it didn’t yet, things are improving so massively all the time that the world can’t keep up changing to accommodate.
