If in 2009 you claimed that the dominance of the smartphone was inevitable, it would have been because you were using one and understood its power, not because you were reframing away our free choice for some agenda. In 2025 I don't think you can really be taking advantage of AI to do real work and still see its mass adaptation as evitable. It's coming faster and harder than any tech in history. As scary as that is we can't wish it away.

True; but how is that not expected?

We have more and more efficient communication than any point in history, this is a software solution with a very low bar to the building blocks and theory.

Software should be expected to move faster and faster.

I’m not sure who is wishing it away. No one wanted to wish away search engines, or dictionaries or advice from people who repeat things they read.

It’s panic top to bottom on this topic. Surely there are some adults around that can just look at a new thing for what it is now and not what it could turn into in a fantasy future?
