"Where AI fits in

The Beatles

Personal computers

The web

Napster

AI

It is interesting and I’ve made similar comparisons lately myself. It matters who your audience and point is for such a list. For technologists I keep saying it is like…

GUI

Internet

Cloud

Mobile

I think of those because they changed nearly everything about how technologists do their craft. And I believe AI is going to do that too.

It is of course bigger than all that, but that is a different audience. http://scripting.com/2025/05/22/214121.html
