GPS maps made getting lost largely obsolete. Search engines made recall of specific facts far less important. Very curious what new capabilities AI systems will give us that we will soon take for granted.

All high cognitive load tasks will be offloaded. Eventually all that can be an API will be automated to the point we will use higher and higher abstractions. Kinda how scifi movies show ppl use gestures to do very complicated things.

I still think the core benefit of near term AI is the proverbial: What are the answers to questions we haven’t asked yet

Building machines that can truly understand human language and act on insight and instruction. Such innovation will democratize access to subject matter expertise (This is many steps above searching for facts). It's more akin to hiring a personal expert. You're almost there. 👊

I'm worried it's going to be languages.

Here are 3 that should already be here: 1) Real-time language translation, 2) spam caller filtering, 3) auto selection of the "best" Amazon product from text description.

Calculators made basic arithmetic obsolete. LLM's make going from concepts to details largely obsolete. (You still have to describe the code or the writing topics, but you don't have to write them) This should greatly increase human->computer bandwidth.
