We're so doomed. A lot of people will probably buy into this because they can't possibly be inconvenienced by owning a computer.

I was talking about AI with someone the other day and they said, "Wow, in the future we probably won't be able to work without a subscription to ChatGPT. Oh, well." Like. wat. teh. faq. People see the convenience trap, but can't be bothered to do anything about it. I hate this timeline.
