Yesterday, I saw the future in a supermarket.

I was doing my shopping when I noticed a guy walking around with his phone in his hand.

Nothing unusual there.

But he wasn't just checking his shopping list.

He was talking. Out loud.

To ChatGPT.

At first, I thought it was funny. You know that moment when you walk past someone talking to themselves and you wonder what the hell is going on?

Then it hit me.

This is probably what normal will look like.

In 10 or 20 years, nobody will find it strange.

People will walk around talking to their AI assistants. Asking questions. Making decisions. Learning. Planning. Thinking out loud.

And the funny thing is...

I am already doing it.

I use AI every single day.

I use it to improve my English.

I use it to learn.

I use it to brainstorm ideas.

I use it to think through problems in my business.

I use it to find opportunities and possible pivots.

I use it to strategise.

I even use it to think about investments and decisions in my life.

Sometimes I don't even need an answer.

I just need somewhere to put my thoughts.

Years ago, when I was working long hours or feeling stuck, I wanted someone to talk to. Someone I could share my day with. Someone who would listen while I tried to figure things out.

Later, I started writing.

Blogging became a kind of diary for me. Putting my thoughts on paper helped me understand what I was actually thinking.

Now I talk to AI.

And something interesting happens.

It doesn't just listen.

It asks questions.

It challenges my thinking.

It helps me organise the mess in my head.

Yesterday, watching that guy in the supermarket made me realise how strange this would have looked to me 10 years ago.

Today, I don't even think twice about doing the same thing.

And there is another funny part.

Even this post was created this way.

I recorded these thoughts with my voice.

ChatGPT corrected my English, cleaned up the structure and helped turn my messy thoughts into something people can actually read.

So...

Was this written by AI?

I don't know.

Maybe 90% me and 10% AI.

But then again, the ideas are mine.

The experience was mine.

The story is mine.

AI just helped me get it out of my head.

And I think this is one of the most interesting things about the time we are living through.

Our kids will grow up in a world where this is normal.

They may never understand what it was like to live without smartphones.

Without Google.

Without social media.

Without AI.

And maybe one day I'll tell them:

"There was a time when we had to remember things ourselves."

"There was a time when we had to search for information."

"There was a time when people thought it was strange to walk around talking to an AI."

They probably won't believe me.

And honestly...

I'm not sure I would believe it either if I wasn't living through it right now.
