"You ever talk about something, and the next day it pops up on every smart device you own? A shower curtain, a tub, whatever you mentioned to your brother. You don't know how it happens, it just happens. That's targeted marketing, and it's already good enough to feel like mind reading. Here's the thing. AI is heading the exact same direction, except instead of showing you an ad, it's going to build you the thing. I'm living a piece of this right now. I've been talking through a room-monitoring project, sensors, radar boards, the whole setup, and the parts are already on their way to me. Nobody filled out an order form. The conversation was the order. Push that forward a year or two. You mention a video game you wish existed, or a project you need done for work, and you wake up and your assistant says, 'oh, by the way, here's this and that,' and it's already done. Not an ad for the thing. The thing. And if you've already got an AI assistant in your life, you're not waiting for that future. You're already inside it."
