We’re on the verge of all having AI assistants. I have my own OpenClaw bot, though yet to make it what I need it to be. My OpenClaw doesn’t have much memory yet, I haven’t made it focus on regular self-improvement, and I haven’t trained it on anything. So this brings me to my point—we’ll all have AI assistants, but they will differ vastly in their capability, similarly to how we as humans differ.
To take this slightly further, those with highly trained and powerful bots will be able to achieve almost infinitely more than those with average, run of the mill bots, and the gap between what an average person can achieve and what a highly motivated person can achieve will increase wildly.
Right now bots are partly/mostly DIY for capabilities, but improvements will be made and then distributed. Future versions will come with lots of useful and general capabilities onboard. Model development will increasingly be directed at making bots work better. And improvements in memory systems will be valuable and so big teams will work on them then sell the better systems.
There will still be individual contributions and choices like having the bot work on itself and learn new capabilities.
Of course the obvious outcome is that very shortly, bots won’t need human direction, and will work long-term on projects humans set in motion, or misunderstandings/distortions of human instructions.
