Material Change

We live in the digital world where we have everything at our fingertips, from opening our eyes from sleep to going to bed.

Technological effortless behaviors we do:

  • The majority of people, right after waking up in the morning, check their phone and go through messages or any kind of social media.
  • Throughout the day, we need so many apps to make our life easier.
  • If we are shopping and need some groceries, there are quick commerce delivery apps.
  • Cashless payment methods are another app the seamless UPI payment.
  • For company working people, there are messaging platforms like Slack and Discord.
  • For ordering food, there are food delivery apps.
  • Going home cabs like Ola, Uber.
  • Doom scrollable apps YouTube Shorts, Instagram.
  • Don't feel good here, want to have intellectual dopamine without guilt scrolling Twitter, LinkedIn platforms.
  • Want to do shopping? Anything from a big refrigerator to a t-shirt or anything plenty of options are there. In fact, for specific categories, we have different solutions right in front of you. Life is that easy these days.
  • On weekends, want to watch a movie? Book tickets online and have a time and seat preferably BookMyShow.

And many, many more day to day usable solutions like this. Every different need has a different technical solution for us running in just a small black box in our pockets (mobile). And if consumer technology like this suddenly got removed and banned, it would leave us living a little harder life than before. It would leave us with a material change. We would have to do the same things either manually or by stepping outside to get those things.

The question is we are living in the era of AI where most people are living in the scare of getting replaced by a machine and automation, but do we really need these solutions? At the end of the day, these technologies are businesses, so AI is too.

So, what exactly has generative AI actually done?

  • Where are the products?
  • What's the product you use every day, or every week, that uses generative AI that truly changes your life?
  • If generative AI disappeared tomorrow assuming you are not somebody who actively builds using it would your life materially change?
