If we hit that point, it’s then a question of access, cost, learning curve, and vision of individual companies. Some things are technically possible, but done by very few companies.
I’ve seen the videos of Amazon warehouses, where the shelves move around to make popular items more accessible for those fetching stuff. This is possible today, but what percentage of companies do this? At what point is it with the investment for a growing company? For some companies it’s never worth it. Others don’t have the vision to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
A lot of things that we may think of as old or standard practice at this point would be game changing for some smaller companies outside of tech. I hear my friends and family talking about various things they have to do at their job. A day writing a few scripts could solve a significant amount of toil. But they can’t even conceptualize where to begin to change that, they aren’t even thinking about it. Release all the AI the world has to offer and they still won’t. I bet some freelance devs could make a good living bouncing from company to company pair programming with their AI to solve some pretty basic problems for small non-tech companies that would be game changes for them, while being rather trivial to do. Maybe partner with a sales guy to find the companies and sell them on the benefits.
