And I think people are overestimating. Big Data? Cloud? Drones? VR? They all have impact w/o major consumer change

Well, we shall see. But I think dismissing other viewpoints as clueless is unhelpful. My 10 years in strategy analysis worth something?

But can you name a single application (except self-driving cars) driving major behavior change in the next 10y?

Smart assistants, voice interfaces. But that's just one of many. And the real timeframe is not 10 years. 10 years is the beginning.

I agree with these two in the long-term, I just think we’re still quite further away from it than many think.

...ok, but I will note that Google Home / Alexa / Siri / Assistant have *already* driven considerable behavior change for lots of people.

True, but it’s relatively minor. The only AI part here is speech recognition, not the “conversation”

Whether or not it runs on deep learning, an AI assistant is an AI, both in terms of tech and in terms of how it is perceived. AI != ML
