Artificial intelligence will no doubt affect our lives more than the internet has. There will be life-size robots that learn better than humans and can master a new task in a matter of seconds.

Machines will even build other machines entirely from scratch, designing and constructing them from beginning to end—all from a single prompt on your phone.

I predict that traditional jobs will become a thing of the past because there will be little point in learning a skill that AI can perform better and faster, often in seconds.

Throughout history, innovation and creativity have been highly valued in society. However, machines may soon surpass humans in these areas. Creativity might no longer be rewarded, just as talking is not considered a special skill because everyone can do it.

This raises a major question: what will humans do with all their free time if machines can perform every task for them?

I see two possible outcomes. The first is that society could resemble The Matrix, where people sit at home plugged into their AI devices while machines deliver everything they need. In this future, the AI might even become people’s best friends or partners, leaving humans more secluded than ever.

The second possibility is more hopeful: people could become more social than ever, no longer spending forty hours a week working or studying skills that machines can perform more efficiently.

In such a world, money might lose its importance, as everything becomes free or nearly free. Governments could adapt by providing a universal basic income, ensuring that everyone receives a monthly allowance.

I hope people will choose the path of connection and joy, but unfortunately, judging by current trends and social norms, I fear that friendships and social gatherings may become things of the past.
