    Rather than interact with a machine, you’ll just be walking around, sipping coffee, having thoughtful conversations with a bot laughing along with your jokes as it writes your letter and does your taxes.

    So, basically the computers from Star Trek: TNG. I'd go for that, but unfortunately, what we'll get instead is enshitified AI slop which exists to suck a subscription fee out of you every month while pushing ads.

    I dunno, I remember it more like, "hey computer, make a LARP/natural wonder/cozy space/sing & dance number for my real humanoid (and android) friends and I to enjoy together". When computer manifestations got regarded as worthy of personhood, it was either some exceptional case, or the story was about the character's delusion.
