VR was and is also still a very inaccessible tool for most people. It costs a lot of money and time to even get to the point where you’re getting the intended VR experience and that is what it mostly boils down to: an experience. It isn’t convenient or useful and people can’t afford it. And even though there are many gamers out there, most people aren’t gamers and don’t care about mounting a VR headset on their cranium and getting seasick for a few minutes.
AI is not only accessible and convenient, it is also useful to the everyday person, if the AI doesn’t hallucinate like hell, that is. It has the potential to optimize workloads in jobs with a lot of paperwork, calculations and so on.
I completely agree with you that AI is being pushed very aggressively in ways we haven’t seen before and that is because the tech people and their investors poured a lot of money into developing these things. They need it to be a success so they can earn their money back and they will be successful eventually because everybody with money and power has a huge interest in this tool becoming a part of everyday life. It can be used to control the masses in ways we cannot even imagine yet and it can earn the creators and investors a lot of money.
They are already making AI computers. According to some it will entirely replace the types of computers we are used to today. From what I can understand, it will be preferable to the open AI setups we have currently that are burning our planet to a crisp with the amount of data centers that need to keep them active. Supposedly the AI computer will have it be a local thing on the laptop and it will therefore demand less resources, but I’m so fucking skeptic about all this shit that I’m waiting to see how much power a computer with an AI operating system will need to swallow in energy. I’m too tech-ignorant to understand the ins and outs of what this and that means, but we are definitely going to have to accept that AI is here to stay and the current setup with open AIs and forced LLM’s in every search engine is a massive environmental nightmare. It probably won’t stop or change a fucking lick because people don’t give a fuck as long as they are comfortable and the companies are getting people to use their trash tech just like they wanted so they won’t stop it either.

This is literally the pitch burning hundreds of billions of dollars into ash. It’s insane.
