I’ve thought for a while that Joi in BR2049 was less dystopian than what we will probably do with AI. She doesn’t constantly prompt K to buy more credits (like a mobile game) to continue engaging with her or deepen their relationship. (“If you really love me…”) I’ve been expecting that this is how our industry would operate given the customer hostile psychologically abusive hellscape of social and mobile. Of course there’s still time.

She appears to be a local model runnable on a small device without cloud.

I expect AI to be like any other tech: some fantastic uses that advance humanity and improve the world, some terrible uses that abuse, manipulate, oppress.

I don’t see anything in the tech that indicates a singular pattern that will be “good” or “bad”.
