Over the past few years, generative AI has gained broad adoption across the world, with tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT gaining up to one million new users within an hour after the company unveiled its ChatGPT-4o image generator.

However, he predicts that we'll get to a juncture where "AI systems are clicking around the Internet" (via vitrupo on X).
