Elon Musk's latest prediction: Traditional phones and apps will disappear in five years.

In a podcast, Tesla CEO Musk predicted a radical future: in the next 5-6 years, traditional phones and apps will disappear, and most of the content consumed by humans will be generated by AI. Musk believes, "There will be no operating system in the future, no apps, your phone will only display pixels and sound. It will predict what you most want to see and hear, and then generate it in real time. We will integrate AI into this device as much as possible." "There will no longer be traditional phones in the traditional sense. What we call phones are actually edge nodes for AI reasoning, equipped with some radio modules for connection." Musk threw out the idea that essentially server-side AI will communicate with the AI on user devices and generate any real-time video that users want.
