Fun forward looking version of the usual games on this board. Simple rules, post one genuinely specific prediction for something that will feel completely mundane and normal a decade from now, but would get you a very strange look if you said it out loud to someone right now.
Try to keep it genuinely plausible rather than pure science fiction. The fun part of this game is picking something that feels believable once you actually think it through, not just the wildest thing you can imagine.
Kicking it off with mine, most job interviews for entry level roles being conducted primarily by an AI system rather than a human. With the human interviewer only stepping in for a final short conversation near the very end of the process.
Genuinely think this specific one is closer than people currently assume. Given how much of the earlier hiring pipeline is already automated across most larger companies right now.
Your turn, one specific prediction, keep it plausible. And feel free to explain your actual reasoning briefly if you want to make the case for why you think it genuinely happens
Mine is that owning a car outright becomes frankly unusual in most cities, subscription and shared autonomous vehicle access becoming the actual default the way streaming replaced owning physical media for most people already. Held up better than expected so far
