The Gen AI Bridge to the Future – Stratechery by Ben Thompson

Generative AI serves as a critical application layer bridge between computing paradigms, enabling the transition from personal computers and smartphones to wearable and neural interfaces by providing the natural language and conversational interaction layer that these new input modalities require. Thompson traces how each major computing era (mainframes, PCs, mobile devices) emerged when new input methods paired with applications designed for those methods, and generative AI uniquely enables the shift to voice, gesture, and thought-based interactions that define the next wearable computing paradigm.
