When the PC came along, it took twenty years to significantly change how we worked because the software had to be developed, the price had to come down, and people had to learn how to use the tools and incorporate them into their business processes. AI, on the other hand, runs on the devices we already have, and it uses natural language. We don’t have to adapt to it because it can adapt to us.

There’s a pleasure in being told what we already know, in a way we’re already used to. That’s why so much human writing and storytelling does exactly that. We go to a Hollywood movie or pick up a romantasy novel or attend a Sunday sermon knowing what to expect, and our expectations are almost always met.
