perhaps I live in a blue collar bubble but I do not know a single person in my personal and professional circle whose lives haven’t significantly changed with AI. just this week I helped three families setup https://github.com/mimurchison/claude-chief-of-staff because one family set it up. prompts are being shared like bread recipes during C19
I'm sorry I don't think automating your email and calendar is "changing your life significantly".. maybe that's just me.
I'm not denying AI is a great productivity tool, it really is!
But "changing the world" is like... electricity, or clean water, or radio.. things that anyone and everyone can set up and access for themselves.
Not a pay-as-you-go service that you (or most people) can only get from 3 for-profit companies who will only be raising the prices and walling up their gardens as times goes on.
I don’t disagree - however I’ll play Devil’s Advocate. It starts this way. When the first iPhone was released we were all like “cool, I can take a picture with my phone and not lug the camera around” and now majority of the population can’t go poop without it.
with AI, today we are automating emails and calendars, tomorrow home schooling our kids and skipping college and next thing you know we are taking pics our poop and uploading to AI to analyze our health :)
