Yes, I guess time will tell what happens. I think a lot of folks are underestimating the power of AI in the equation. I would have a really hard time swapping my phone for a voice-only device but I'm starting to wrap my head around how it would work and when I think about it it seems a bit freeing to be untethered from something I have to stare at, even if it doesn't do 100% of what phones currently do. The future rarely pans out as we predict it will but I think whatever replaces mobile phones will appear soon.

I've made a few habits in life to reduce my screen time. I'd support AI if that was the direction it would take, but it definitely wouldn't - maximizing usage is maximizing profit, after all.
I just try and take some steps back and have some habits to reduce screentime - have a watch on my wrist, phone permanently on silent (I miss every phone call lol).
I can only see a future where AI expands screen time, or complements it (such as a watch/glasses). I'd bet money it could not replace screens. It's like the idea of food pills, where one pill gives us all the energy and vitamins we ever need in a day.
But... why would we want that? We enjoy eating.
I do agree something big will be happening right around the corner though. 2024 is the year of AI, for sure.
