For comparison, here's the frontpage from ten years ago

Today's front page is not a clean 10 year extrapolation from this. That's where AI is wrong. The future is weird and zig zags, it's not so linear as the Gemini generated page.

Honest question - do you think that everyone else thinks this is even REMOTELY what the front page will look like in 10 years?

I comment because I really cannot figure out why you left your comment. Do you think the rest of the commenters think this has predicted the future? It might be one thing to point out specific trends you think will not play out, or unexpected trends you think may show up that are currently left out. But to just remark that the future will contain things we cannot currently predict seems so inherently, unspokenly obvious that I just have to assume that wasn't the point of your post, and I've missed it entirely.

Sorry, I'm really not trying to be mean or anything - i'm just really confused.

Your confusion seems to stem from the assumption that, making a statement is an implicit assertion that most people believe the opposite of that statement.

In reality, statements are often made rather for the purpose of emphasis or rhetoric.

That's a good point, and something I'll have to remember for the future, but I'm curious what the emphasis or rhetoric of GP comment would be.
