Depends who 'we' is - I've seen plenty of non-tech people in the real world begin to use ChatGPT as a primary information source rather than the web (rightfully or not!)
I suspect that 'we' might not be the true early adopters here, similar to how quite a lot of the most technical users in the 80's thought GUI's were a waste of time.
I had to buy a new washing machine last year. It has an AI mode, what ever that is. I have never used the mode.
Less space than a nomad. Lame.
To be fair, I find the term to be as contrived as “performant”
What you're not planning to upgrade from your Web 3.0 platform to an Agentic one?
Scandalous!
As much as I hate it, you and your opinion is exactly what Jobs always talked about: people don't need things until they realize they need them.
You not envisioning use for it is just a past bias. You can't know that. You can't because we haven't yet reached the point where the OS is fully useful when controlled with AI.
