No. The AI pane of glass is the next killer product.
The next major device won't be an ad funnel though. It'll give users first class access to the whole pane of glass. Not a managed ads experience at the will of some monopoly platform, but something where the AI serves us instead of being extractive.
The minute we have a broker or agent between us and the "user is the product" services that try to advertise to us and steal our time, it's game over for the old model of revenue. Google, ads, all of it will vanish. There won't be any more selling to me or the rest of the world ever again. You'll have to pay us to get our eyeballs.
Let me clarify: if we have a pane of glass where we run our own agent with our own best interests in mind, then nobody can get through that layer without it being permitted by us.
No more ads.
No more stealthy product placement.
No more paid or featured listings.
It goes further.
No more rage bait, attention bait, low information filler. The annoying people in life and in social media disappear to the great filter.
AI agents can clean up the shitty place the Internet has become.
AI agents are personal butlers. Or internet condoms.
The way that works is this: on-device AI that can handle the task of routing and dispatching and filtering, which can then dispatch out to expensive cloud AI that would otherwise try to inject adds into the stream.
