Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk endorsed a prediction that advances in artificial intelligence will eventually render traditional browsers, websites, and most software obsolete, reports infohub.kz.
The discussion was sparked by a post from X user Rational Aussie. They suggested that web browsers "will disappear much sooner than many think," as active AI users are already increasingly working directly with neural networks.
"An equivalent of Google My Business will emerge, where every company creates its own Claude account and has an AI Claude representing it with a unique name, identity, and contact information. Individuals as well as companies can join a massive multiplayer online network of human-AI hybrids, where AI finds exactly what you need by communicating with other AI and humans in the background. Once that happens, browsers will die, websites will die — AI will absorb everything," wrote the post author.
German software developer and creator of the Amarok media player, Marc Kretschmann, expanded on this idea. In his view, the future will see not only browsers disappear but also websites and most conventional software, as personal AI agents handle all tasks.
Elon Musk responded to Kretschmann's post with a brief comment: "True," thereby expressing agreement with that scenario.
This is not the first time the billionaire has made bold statements about the future of artificial intelligence. Previously, Musk called for a pause in the development of the most powerful AI systems, warning of the technology's potential risks. He also said that by 2030, AI could become smarter than all humans on the planet combined.
Previously, Kursiv reported that Elon Musk's net worth exceeded $1 trillion for the first time after SpaceX's record-breaking IPO. The company set the offer price at $135 per share and raised $75 billion, making it the largest IPO in U.S. history. As a result, SpaceX was valued at $1.77 trillion and became one of the world's most valuable companies. Later, it became known that Musk lost his trillionaire status in Forbes and Bloomberg rankings after a decline in SpaceX's stock price.
