Indeed! Remember automobiles also appeared when horse cars were not a viable solution anymore in cities, due to too much horse shit around (need to fact check this though).
I think we don't really consider replacing a "solution" until it becomes a "problem" :)
Love that example. I agree with your point about replacing solutions, and also we don’t even rethink the solution itself, we just try to upgrade it.
Remember smartphones right before the iPhone became popular? They had “everything”. They were like super-advanced Nokia 3310s, with bigger screens, keyboards, and better graphics.
Nobody realized they didn’t actually need all that until Apple offered something completely different, one where you weren’t even allowed to set your ringtone to your favorite tune 🙂
I remember noticing this problem while I was reading sci-fi books back then. For some reason the ideas they were coming up were based on iterations to existing ideas or tech. Especially popular books and movies.
From what I see that some sci-fi content focuses pure fantasy just because it sounds cool like flying cars. Some other books or movies was focusing to teleportation, space/time warps for example.
There are no limits when it comes to ideas but selling that to people is hard. The ones that works with masses sticks around.
I remember trying GPT-2, one of the first version they published demo and it was working in Word like program that was completing your sentences. They somehow noticed that it works like chat and people loved that.
I see many "touchscreen" moments for agent flows but whichever will be successful with masses, we'll see.

Interesting subject. A lot to think about here.

Curious what agent flows you think are getting close to that “touchscreen moment” Cem!
I didn't organize a list, but will share them with DM later 😂
