It's like a vicious cycle:

People are tech illiterate
Tech companies design things for the lowest common denominator.
People don't need to learn anything new and become even more tech illiterate

AI is going to make it so much worse. You'll soon be in the top 5% if you have a keyboard app installed on your phone.

...Those won't go away, right? People aren't going to start talking on the bus for their phones to auto-type the text messages they want to send through chat, right...?
