> In 2026 everything fron sewage to chickens to oil to education is now tied to AI. The entire economy is now, for good or bad tied to AI.

Tied how? How strong is the corellation between these? I'd say very weak, other than everything having to compete with AI for resources.

The same is true of any technology tied to powerful personal computers or the internet - people built and designed beatiful houses, great cars, airliners, wrote books and ran restaurants without computers or the internet.

It has even become a meme how putting smart features and lcd screens into things like washing machines have made them strictly worse.
