Future? Definitely it's the present now, and at this point already in the past a bit too.
Which means it's time for the future to wrap back around to being talking to people once more!? Have your AI assistant call my AI assistant to schedule lunch (b/t our AI assistants ofc, what am I a crazy person to want to do that irl!?:-P).
Fr you can talk to the AI version of me. I ain’t socializing in real life you kidding me??
Question is why only go one step back if you could do many. Let your AI Assistent write mine a letter and sent it with the AI-Postman.
Eventually our enhanced cyber-brains will decrypt and unpackage messages for us automatically (downloading all dependencies first ofc:-P), and we won't need no stinking AI assistant - we will do it "by ourselves"!:-D
At which point it will ofc become cool for people to talk to one another irl, "ironically".
Tbh, I think a lot of people are doing extended phone calls and discord convos these days. I can't go to the grocery without hearing a few loud speaker phone convos, and back when I was more social online I'd leave Skype running in group calls for hours a day after work. (I especially hear Spanish convos over the phone in public from workers phones. I suspect many of these people don't speak English well and are calling family and friends for social stimulation. I live in FL, USA)
The only thing stopping me now, I think, is I live with my partner and spend tons of time with them, so my social battery is constantly low.
In business environment the number of calls significantly increased. They are replacing 1-on-1 meetings, regular meetings and even water cooler talks.
Luckily for us, nonverbal communication is far more effective.
