The real AI thing will be some kind of AI agent that can handle all of your online digital interactions, including but not limited to:

– Managing the agenda,
– Writing and answering emails,
– Web browsing and online transactions,
– Summarising and commenting on news stories
– Taking part in meetings and phone calls, etc.

Imagine having an AI agent that efficiently takes care of all your online interactions, meeting with it for 20-30 minutes a day to give further instructions or get updates, and having the rest of the day to think or do whatever you want.

This means adding value to people on an unprecedented scale by freeing up billions of working hours that can now be invested in creative thinking to solve real problems, innovation, etc.

In an ideal world, this would add trillions of dollars of wealth to the economy and create tons of new jobs.

In the real world, how would people react, given that most have become addicted to the time-wasting machine that most online interactions are?.
