“In the near future, AIs will work in their own hierarchies of intelligence, all communicating with each other, perhaps mostly autonomously. If you want to grab a bite to eat, it may be that your more “intelligent” premium AI assistant can guess what restaurant you might like based on reasoning about you and your recent behavior, and then delegate to a cheaper AI to actually make the reservation. Or you may ask your personal phone AI for help with the task first, and it can get advice from a frontier model on how to nail a tricky reservation, charging your account for the extra bit of intelligence-on-demand.”
People don’t seem to understand that we’re not only going to have 2-3 AI assistants that are controlled by big companies. There will be many, many options to choose from, some of which will be aligned with your personal values and preferences. You’ll have multiple language models that communicate with each other, handing off tasks to achieve aims you specify. Some will be free, others will be very expensive. Some services you already use, like Gmail, iOS, and Windows, will integrate with these AI assistants.
They will be everywhere.
