I'm buying Mustafa Suleyman's take (from the linked MIT article) on this:
"Now we’re in the generative wave, where you take that input data and produce new data.
> The third wave will be the interactive phase. That’s why I’ve bet for a long time that conversation is the future interface. You know, instead of just clicking on buttons and typing, you’re going to talk to your AI.
> And these AIs will be able to take actions. You will just give it a general, high-level goal and it will use all the tools it has to act on that. They’ll talk to other people, talk to other AIs."
I wrote a little on another tech leader's thoughts that are in a similar neighborhood - Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus and founder of Nothing and their Nothing Phone 2 on a new metaphor needed/coming for smartphones:
"I think it needs to slowly augment away the apps. Today, we’re using some really simple, mindless-scrolling apps, right? What if we wanted to accomplish more complicated tasks like 3D modeling or photo editing, or I don’t know what? It’s actually quite difficult to learn how to use these new apps. Maybe we can just tell the phone what we need to do, and it would use those apps for us without the apps even being visible in the foreground. Right. I think that could be enough utility to transition to a new metaphor."
Apps interactive/talking to apps, AI interacting and communicating with other AI is the next frontier, most data is created by machines and apps already, this data will be used by machines as well to improve systems and create new ones.

It's all gonna be worrisome at times, exciting, and hopefully a hell of a lot of fun too.
