Unpopular opinion: AI is going to hit a peak, fade into the background, and human stuff becomes the luxury item

Reddit r/artificial News

Summary

The article opines that AI will become so ubiquitous it fades into the background, similar to computers or electricity, making human-made goods and skills the new luxury items.

Remember when computers were the luxury thing? Now they’re everywhere and basically invisible but nobody’s impressed by “I own a laptop” anymore. I think AI is heading the same way. It gets so common, so good, so baked into everything that it stops being a “thing” at all. It just disappears into the background, like electricity or wifi. Nobody says “wow, AI” anymore, the same way nobody says “wow, computer.” And when that happens, the rare thing won’t be AI-made stuff. It’ll be human-made stuff. Human skill, human attention, a person who actually did the thing themselves : that becomes the flex. Not because AI can’t do it, but because AI can, and choosing the human version anyway is what makes it valuable. AI won’t keep climbing forever like it feels like now. It’ll peak, then fade into invisibility. And humans doing human things will become the new premium.
