I was car shopping this weekend and was blown away by the tech features that are available in even moderately priced cars. Adaptive cruise with lane assist, blind spot monitoring, backup cameras, navigation and even reverse automatic breaking. Even base models had quiet smooth rides.

When I bought my last new car 10 years ago, this was only the stuff of luxury brands. So that got me to thinking, what luxury commodities will become affordable in the next 10 years?

AI advancements will hopefully unlock a lot of services that only the rich can currently afford

Most lower income people may skip getting ad hoc legal counsel, personal fitness trainers/nutritionists, party planners, financial advisors, etc.

But if AI allows for even halfway decent substitutes, these services could become affordable for everyone.

Ever see the movie Elysium?

I think we could definitely be moving towards that kind of world, maybe without the literal rich person spaceship, but with AI defended compounds and AI controlling the population so their position in power could never be threatened again.

That might also happen. But at least we will all have AI lawyers to help get us out of parking tickets

The absolute last things you should be getting from an AI is legal counsel and medical advice. Financial advice is the 2nd last.

Basically anything where mistakes are costly.

The currently hyped AI models have too much unreliable data in them to provide actionable advice in those areas. Maybe AIs specialized in those fields that are trained on curated data will be useful, but they would have to act more like search engines than AI. There is no chance the AI can comprehend our convoluted legal system, when even experienced professionals struggle with it.
