Depends who 'we' is - I've seen plenty of non-tech people in the real world begin to use ChatGPT as a primary information source rather than the web (rightfully or not!)

I suspect that 'we' might not be the true early adopters here, similar to how quite a lot of the most technical users in the 80's thought GUI's were a waste of time.

I don't think that's really what people are talking about when they talk about 'agentic' PCs.

[Closi]

I think we are more broadly talking about what the user interface is going to be in the future and how people will interact with a computer - many people already want to interact with ChatGPT to get answers rather than navigate to a website, or want to prompt ChatGPT to generate a leaflet rather than design one in Microsoft Word, so 'Agentic PCs' is just an extension to that.

I think that was example of how previously seemingly impossible things are happening things are happening quickly.

Well... They are! ;-) (It's a joke, but at the same time, I do see a terminal resurgence the past few years)
