You say that like a specific technology is inevitable, but it never is. The general march of tech will continue on, but no one thing is ever guaranteed.
e.g. 20 years ago everyone needed custom browser toolbars and now it's not even possible to add one on major browsers. We eliminated the need for browser features by cramming 99% of what we need into a handful of websites that are constantly refreshed.
e.g. 10 years ago blockchain was surging and today it still doesn't have a usable application. Turns out spreadsheets don't really need to be distributed.
Machine learning is just an algorithm nobody understands. If I needed something to give me wrong answers to questions I'll ask my dog.
I don't think I need to defend the usefulness of ai and compare it to browser toolbars....
AI is here and pc needs it. People have been dreaming of it since before the were computers. Even for the most basic features of it.
