It will change how we talk
AI will change how we talk.
There are no drugs without side effects. The side effect of hyper-proactivity and abundance of everything is attention disorder. One of the things that is already clear is that AI will change how we talk. It already did.
Perfect grammar and speech flow had been associated with AI for years now. Every time someone send me a long-read message I intuitively ask myself “hmm, this person really has that much time to write? am I talking to their AI clone?”.
Today, if you cannot formulate your thought or your ask into a few lines you’re not doing your job properly. Also, anytime you ask someone about something you are expected to do your homework first — “google” or “prompt” it. If you show up 'unprepared' for someone’s time — you’re not doing your job either.
Frontier labs tune the models for imperfection, to act more as a real human. It is all blends together, and it's coming to a moment (already is) where it is impossible to understand who you're really talking to.
I do think that a few years from now, the majority of human-to-human interactions will transform into decision-making and emotional-making interactions. Both are irreplaceable by machines.
Bigger decisions will always be on us (because we inherently want to control things). As for emotions, machines can produce synthetic emotions, however those don’t last, and simply lack the depth.
