🔔Elon Musk: Traditional Phones and Apps Will Disappear in Five Years; Most Content Consumed by Humans Will Be Generated by AI
According to Mars Finance, citing First Financial Daily, Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted a radical future on a podcast: in the next 5-6 years, traditional phones and apps will disappear, and most content consumed by humans will be generated by AI. Musk believes, "There won't be operating systems, there won't be apps. Your phone will just display pixels and make sounds. It will predict what you most want to see and hear, and then generate it in real time. We will integrate AI into this device as much as possible." "There won't be any more traditional phones. What we call phones will actually be edge nodes for AI inference, equipped with some wireless modules for connectivity." Musk argues that, essentially, server-side AI will communicate with AI on user devices (formerly known as phones) and generate any real-time video the user wants.
