By 2025 the majority of applications will use AI in some way (mostly to allow for sloppy user input), in 5 years there will be no non-AI applications.

For example, in healthcare (because... day job), you will be interacting with an AI as the first step for your visits/appointments, AI will work with you to fill out your forms/history, your chart will be created by AI, your x-ray and lab results will be read by AI first, and your discharge instructions will be created on the fly with AI... etc. etc. etc. This tech is deploying today. Not in a year, today. The only thing that's holding it up is cost and staff training.

Think about what you just said.

You gave examples of how chat bots are going to be more widely used. Nothing more. So far I don’t see any examples that aren’t overpriced efforts in “shoehorning a chat bot” into something.

Like why will a hospital pay for a bunch of chat bot integrations when it’s likely my ChatGPT phone app will be able to view the form via camera and AirDrop or email the form? Meaning, I still see no examples of why OpenAI isn’t the Bitcoin of the crypto bubble (one use case, with one winner).

You say the only things holding it up are:

- Cost

- Training

Which can be said of any business that’s ever existed. So why is AI different?

2025 is 6 months away. There is absolutely no way a majority of applications will use it.

So instead of just pointing me to non-existent Quicklisp packages, I can have a bot read the junk in my patient chart and hallucinate answers to pressing health care questions? I can't tell if this is a proposal or a threat.

That sounds like an absolute nightmare
