This blog post is straight from our Founder’s thoughts. Here you can read how Guy Pistone thinks AI and the Human Connection go hand in hand. Come read about this imminent event and see if you share the same thoughts.
Founder and CEO shares his thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and the human touch.

The Rise of AI in Modern Society

AI’s influence is spreading rapidly across various industries. It’s not a dystopian takeover scenario from science fiction, but rather a surge in market adoption where companies and startups are swiftly embracing this emerging technology. Much like the explosion of mobile apps between 2009 and 2015, AI is becoming deeply ingrained in our applications, behaviors, and cultural landscape. But what does that mean for us?

AI is learning everyday. What effect will that have on society?

Historical Perspective and Future Projections

Recent studies indicate that by 2025, the global AI market is projected to surpass $250 billion, a testament to its profound influence. As we marvel at these advancements, it’s essential to remember historical instances that resonate with our current trajectory. The Industrial Revolution, for instance, brought about massive technological advancements in the 19th century, but it also led to the Arts and Crafts movement, a longing for handmade, personalized craftsmanship amidst industrial mass production.

In the not-so-distant future, we may unknowingly interact with AI-generated content, such as lifelike videos or music tracks on platforms like Spotify. Human customer service representatives could be replaced by AI, and even AI robots may be patrolling our streets, issuing parking tickets. By the years 2030 to 2035, AI is expected to saturate the market thoroughly.

The Human-AI Connection Dilemma

Yet, as AI becomes increasingly sophisticated, potentially reaching the level of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a sense of fatigue will set in. People will recognize that they’re interacting with AI systems, and this realization may lead to a yearning for something deeper and more genuine — something akin to human connection. Remember those?

AI will always fall short in creating that authentic human bond. Whether it’s the nuance of language, subtle eye contact, or a comforting human touch on the shoulder, AI will forever be distinguishable from human interaction because users know they’re communicating with AI, not a real person. Even in verbal communication and art, AI will lack the depth of genuine human conversation, as true creativity requires the unique human capacity for dreaming and inspiration.

Market Response to AI Saturation

In response, the market will demand innovations that re-introduce genuine human interaction. Picture a world where AI completely replaces wait staff in restaurants for economic reasons. However, the finest dining establishments may choose to employ the most charismatic and engaging servers who go above and beyond (and they would get paid very well!). Customers would willingly pay for the personal touch of a human server over a robotic one. Wouldn’t you?

Consider a future where 95% of social networking interactions involve AI bots. In such a landscape, the market will yearn for platforms where they can interact with fellow humans, craving genuine social connections.

Envision a world where 90% of videos are generated by AI. Creativity would no longer stem from human dreams and inspirations but from past creations. In response, content creators — producers, directors, and actors — will shift their approach to craft content that is uniquely human. This human-centric approach will captivate audiences and provide them with the human connection missing from the world of repetitive, templated AI-generated content.

The AI revolution is advancing swiftly, and saturation in various sectors is inevitable. However, humans will ultimately push back and long for human connection. AI will find its place in the market as a tool rather than a replacement, as the market speaks, and executives and entrepreneurs listen, preserving and building upon the cherished human connection.
