Since November 2022, chatGPT and other generative AI tools have taken the planet by storm, sparking both hope and fear for humanity’s future. Already, artificial intelligence is replacing human writers and editors, using fake Drakes to create music, publish books, violate the SAT, and spread misinformation. It may be scary and exciting, but right now there is a singularity between humans and machines.
However, there is one important factor that has not been discussed. And it can have a huge impact on the future of the business. Here’s the problem: no matter how smart AI gets, no matter how adept it is at mimicking human speech, emotion, and artistic creation, it never materializes.
A machine has no body. They never fall in love or have their hearts broken. They never feel hungry or cold. They never howl in pain. They will never tremble with a lover’s touch on their neck. They will stare at the sunset and never feel their own death. They never feel the pressure of a child or the vastness of that connection. is never refreshed. You don’t mourn your parent’s death until your eyes are swollen.
There are immense opportunities for future entrepreneurs here. It’s a business of materialization. Tech companies are using AI to trick our brains into believing false truths to solve devastating epidemics and climate change in record time (we hope). ), what will the rest of us humans do? And more than ever, I predict that we will be driven to make a living by enjoying being in our own bodies, the physical and emotional aspects of human existence. .
Over the past few decades, money spent on wellness has grown significantly, with exercise classes and equipment (think of the meteoric rise of the Peloton), yoga and spiritual retreats, juices, keto, and all manner of other diet trends. Increased. According to a Global Wellness Institute report, the global wellness industry grew at an annual rate of 6.4% from $2.5 trillion in 2012 to his $4.5 trillion in 2018. That’s more than twice as fast as her for the entire global economy.
Part of this spending is purely driven by a brain-based desire to become immortal. But it also means more fully embracing the most human part of ourselves, our bodies.
You can already spot trends. People leave social media and become more focused in the present moment and less obsessed with recording the moment to share later. Teenagers have given up their smartphones and are instead reading books or chatting in the park. Mainstreaming erotic toys, pole dancing classes for middle-aged women, and other sexual explorations. Wellness retreats are soaring in popularity.
As machines think for us, our desire to touch our bodies only grows. So does the desire to contact each other. We seek ways to escape technology, the metaverse, and machine-generated intelligence in order to connect deeply with nature, develop friendships with family and real people, and live within our bodies.
