Robots are the logical step. A lot of people claim that AI doesn’t have widespread application (which I think is not true anyway) but automation through robotics will be EVERYWHERE…
thinking about this more and more:
what if AI is just a precursor technology for robotics? like, AI never has a consumer moment? AI will end up only mattering to tech people...
and the average person will interface with many robots and gloss over AI powering it, the same way the average person doesn't really think about chips/CPU/GPU.
