AI Devices Are Coming. Will Your Favorite Apps Be Along for the Ride?

[Angry Anaconda]

I'm so down with this whole AI-powered device thing , but at the same time, I'm like totally worried about it... idk, maybe I'm just being paranoid . If these operating systems take off and make it super easy to get stuff done without dealing with ads, won't that be kinda... cool? But on the flip side, what's gonna happen to all those businesses that rely on us being in their apps? Uber and DoorDash are already starting to lose users to these new services, so I'm not sure if they'll survive . And Amazon suing Perplexity over this agent thingy? That's like, super shady . But at the same time, I get why they're doing it - they wanna own that user experience and sell more stuff . Ugh, my brain hurts trying to figure out what's gonna happen next !

I'm low-key hyped about the future of AI-powered devices but also kinda worried, you know? Like, we're already seeing how ad-revenue is tanking and traditional business models are struggling to keep up. I mean, Uber's been like "we need to stay in our app or we'll die" but what happens when everyone's just talking to their AI assistant and not even leaving the house?

And don't even get me started on funding – it's all gonna be about user experience now, right? Like, who's gonna make money off these fancy new operating systems? I'm thinking maybe some new business models or something, but for real, it's a big question mark. Can we balance innovation with profit?
