Timing is all that matters here.

Humans living forever is inevitable. Galactic colonization, inevitable. Over a long-enough time scale.

AI is inevitable on the same time scale, sure. But can it actually survive as a sustainable business given what is needed to keep it relevant—will people pay what it costs to support said business—not clear. Or, at least in the next five years.

The second generation AI companies will be built on different assumptions and will likely be slower-growing, and that’s when you’ll see it truly become ubiquitous. That could be a decade though.
