What does the future of generative AI actually look like?

We’ve seen crazy progress in the last two years. AI can now write, code, design, talk, even move (video). It's no longer science fiction — it’s in our workflows, our tools, our feeds, our DMs.

But here’s what I’ve been thinking about lately:

The future of generative AI might not be about making smarter AI — but making it feel more human, useful, and invisible.

Right now, a lot of tools are still very “wow, look what AI can do!”

In the future, I think we’ll care less about AI as a technology, and more about how it feels:

Like an invisible teammate who understands your work style / a creative partner that remembers your aesthetic

/ an assistant that doesn’t need explaining much

That’s why I’m excited by tools that combine AI with thoughtful UX — tools that don’t just generate, but communicate. Not just output, but process.

Curious to hear from others:

What do you hope the next phase of generative AI will look like?

What tools today already give you a glimpse of that future?

What do you think today's generative AI can improve, in a user's perspective?
