There aren't many situations today that make one think: Why doesn't this business have a website?

There aren't many situations today that make one think: Why doesn't this business have a website? Why is there no wifi here? Why do they send these forms in the mail instead of email them? Why can't I talk to this gadget with bluetooth? Why can't I file this form electronically? Why is there no electronic version of this book? That was not the case, prior to the 2010's. There was the promise of new technology, but the reality was underwhelming. With AI, we're still in 1998 or 1999. People like yourself, and most people on HN, see the promise, and benefit from what AI can already do. Still, AI has yet to benefit the average person much, if at all.
