    There won't be an OS anymore. All you need will be a network enabled graphics driver (Hello X11) for the AI to connect to and draw on.

    Then the AI will just create the image that resembles a spreadsheet or whatever on the fly and write straight to the framebuffer.

    All other tasks that go with the spreadsheet will also be done on the fly.

    But I could imagine our language will change and certain words will basically act like macros and create a set of assumptions and specifications for the prompt that you're using.

      It's going to come full circle and the model's output layer is going to be the grid of pixels. Nvidia will have returned home.
