AI models might transform how we use computers, but will it also change the outcome? Will it make society more productive, efficient and generate more growth? Or will it just provide more forms of entertainment, maybe provide some convenience. Or worse make the bureaucracies of life even more impenetrable?

Don’t know the answer, but as with software/internet in general we need to at least watch out for false sense of progress.

I personally hope the next big wave will be somewhere along the IoT line and physical automation, agri-tech, health-tech, where software transcends the virtual and finally start automating the physical.
