    Sydney Morning Herald[^]:

    A survey by the Ericsson owned brains-trust, ConsumerLab, has revealed consumers believe smartphones will be obsolete within five years - and replaced with artificial intelligence.

    And I predict the study company will be obsolete within 5 years

      How does one make a phone call with "artificial intelligence?" Does it not have to be contained within a physical device? :doh:

      The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

          Just goes to show that the majority of consumers have little to no intelligence, real or artificial.

          What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                      You may have hit on something - how about an AI that is a "hive intelligence"? The AI would consist of nano-dots light enough to float on air. Individually extremely stupid, together they make up Skynet. (A similar idea was used by Larry Niven in one of his short stories - a hive intelligence consisting of viruses.)

                      If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                            A smartphone in the hand, it's really not that practical. For example, not when one is driving a car or cooking.

                            It is so much more practical to put an AI robot in your car seat so you can call your robot. Also very handy for making it cook bacon.
