There are two main ways humans interact with information. One is asynchronous, such as reading books or articles written by others, watching videos and movies others created. The other is real-time and synchronous, like conversations between people or even our interactions with the world.
Before generative AI, 99% of our interactions with the digital world were asynchronous. However, with the advent of generative AI, real-time, synchronous information interaction will rapidly emerge as a new category of information services, transforming how we acquire knowledge, content, and entertainment.
