Remember when smartphones first took over? One day you were flipping a Nokia brick, and the next, you’re arguing with Siri about the weather. Now, AI’s doing the same—whispering sweet nothings like:
“Here’s a poem about your cat in the style of Shakespeare”
...and we’re all just along for the ride. But will AI’s rise mirror the smartphone revolution, or are we in for a plot twist?
2007: iPhone drops. People lose their minds. “It’s a phone, iPod, and internet device?”
2010s: Smartphones become extensions of our hands (and souls). We date, bank, and cry over memes on them.
Today: Try leaving home without your phone. Panic. Sweating. Existential dread.
* Then: “Why would I need apps? I have a computer.”
* Now: “Alexa,
add ‘existential crisis’ to my shopping list.”
AI is following the same hype-to-habit pipeline. AI is already in your phone, your fridge, your car’s GPS.
AI’s spawning content farms, deepfake drama, and “Did a bot just write my kid’s essay?”
Smartphones sit in your pocket. AI? Knows you secretly love ~yodeling videos.
...Actually, we should try every idea.
Like smartphones? Yes, AI will reshape jobs, habits, and how we (iota) procrastinate.
Different? Absolutely. Smartphones connected us. AI might replace us.
One thing’s certain: In 10 years, we’ll laugh at how we once typed database queries instead of just thinking them into the AI hive mind.
Good luck for the upcoming years. AI might not replace you
~someone using AI will.
Until we meet next time!
