That's just the passage of time and the changes that come with it.
We've always lay stones at places for those who know what they mean, woven particular tartans into cloth the pass along a message, put fake streets in maps, images on paper, had pirate radio and underground TV shows - something of that spirit will always persevere,, we just don't know how yet.
Microsoft screwed up by bloating Windows with advertising, forced updates and critical errors which have cost a lot of people time and money. Many people will be moving towards something like Linux for their operating systems because of this, this will snowball, like IE did over Netscape Navigator and Chrome over IE, and the Linux model, once tried, is much better at keeping privacy as a central tenet to its purpose. So we should have another generation of a more literate user as standard, making those panopticon constraints harder to fit for those wanting to shackle down every impulse and whim.
With AI models from the East and elsewhere showing how good they are in comparison, lots of limitation will have to be removed to ensure that a competitive model is being used. I don't think we're anywhere near The Prisoner yet, but that has always been the direction we've taken as a species.
Hope springs eternal,between Pandora and Prometheus we've always had that.
Eventually, a few years later it will become commonplace and used everywhere for everything, but most of it will involve some kind of spying and user data collection and analytics for sale, censored to hell by a handful of big companies that rise to the top to control it all, used by governments to push narratives, all while having deleterious effect on people's development, killing creative drives, making people unable to think or imagine as much or at all, turning people into even more of the zombie content consumers they are now, with most people paying attention coming to the conclusion it was kind of a bad idea.
We're already there pretty much. There's a reason that "free" AI bots demand personal information as a condition of using them. You are the product. The algorithms are all censored to hell and exist to serve up leftist slop. Attempts to unfuck those algorithms have mixed result to say the least. I'd say AI is the latest phase of the internet's enshitification.
used pretty much exclusively in an academic/corporate/governmental setting.
What other setting is there? Individuals making their own models? They do, at least those with the know-how. There's innumerable open source projects for local neural network models on all sorts of applications.
You're trying to hard to create a theory. This is just a new technology following the pattern that new technologies go through.
Yes it is. My point is that, when I say "This is just a new technology following the pattern that new technologies go through", I'm saying in 14 words what it took you 813 to say. Technology becoming better, more widespread and cheaper is also obvious. Obvious enough that a post saying it so in so many words as if it was some kind of wisdom being imparted comes off as silly.
