How will AI change our lives over the next 10 years? Will it improve the future and raise our quality of life, or will make things worse

Something that's not real can't change shit.
That said, I'm quite optimistic that the current widespread false advertising / fraud regarding "AI" will continue backfiring as people, in practice, figure out they're duped.
There's news of companies that laid off employees hurriedly trying to rehire them, and I suspect the frequency and magnitude of this will go up.

It has already made things worse by gobbling up so much investment that can't get to real productive innovative businesses

The vast majority of people talking about it in one form or another gravely misunderstand what it is, what it can do, and what it cannot do. That includes here on KF. The way I'd put it, is that right now there's real mechanical limitations to what AI can do, and absent breakthroughs in specific scientific sectors, we're going to see it stop becoming any 'better' soon.

What people don't seem to understand is that the problem with these massive datacenters is that they do not scale well. Regardless of whatever else someone may think of communications tech, at some point the thing you're trying to make 'do stuff' has latency fuck up the process, even at nanosecond-scale speeds.

That's the primary thing that matters right now in regards to AI. If breakthroughs happen that enable more efficiency per area in a large fashion, we might see it develop into something appreciably powerful compared to what it is right now, which is a glorified search engine utility in all aspects that concern that same vast majority that don't understand what the hell it is they're whining about/worshipping.

TL;DR: Not much else unless there's some serious breakthrough either as one big breakthrough or several singular smaller ones, in the 'compute per square inch' sense. We're getting close to the 'maximum' of what AI can even 'do' right now.

In 10 years your fridge, your toothbrush, your clothing, and your walls will be AI powered.
Currently I am dialating my neovagina with a Google Gemeni powered dialator, and yeah this is definitely the future.

Maybe in 10 years my AI Girlfriend will stop smelling like ozone and tracing idle patterns on my hand.

The AI is probably not going to change as much as you think, but it will be blamed/used as an excuse for things that make your life worse. Given companies are already quietly hiring back workers they thought wold be permanently replaced by AI because the AI can't do it, I would guess the impact AI ultimately has on the job market will not be as dire as originally predicted. However, when they import infinity third worlders to do our jobs cheaper, the headline will be "AI replaces infinity jobs". When those infinity third worlders strain our resources and cause prices to go up (them and the million other policies that cause inflation, rising housing costs, etc.) the blame will go to AI data centers consuming energy and water.

It will make people lazier/dumber.

Before the internet/early internet we had to read books, interact with people, and occasionally even watch TV to gain new information.

When the internet was established but before "AI" search engines (which aren't even AI in the loosest sense) we had to know how to search effectively and process the information we found.

Now that we've got these synthesizing search engines people can just ask whatever esoteric question, even ones without a likely online answer, and take whatever "AI" spits out for granted. This doesn't even begin to take into account using AI for coding and shit.

I personally am already getting lazier about finding information. I find myself asking mundane questions that I would have to reason out in the past. Fortunately, I am already lazy and stupid so humanity isn't losing much there.

it already has. the reality-distorting effects of the internet and social media have become notably more powerful as a result of the current advances in genAI. and I'm not talking about people believing fake posts about conspiracies or whatever, I'm talking about how most people filter information through AI summaries now, the knock-on effects of which will not be immediately visible. then there are the people who have become reliant on LLMs as tools to compose e-mails or messages, both professional and personal. and, though this is much rarer, the people who have become emotionally reliant on using LLMs to create virtual friends or lovers. generative models are also increasingly being used in all forms of art, despite the wailing and gnashing of the art community (especially the amateur artfags trying to sell porn as a career, who now must be able to outdraw a computer).

the most likely long-term effect of this, as genAI models continue to improve, is simply that they will be increasingly widely used to optimize things like doing research, communicating with other humans, or even having friends. coding and art will also become increasingly AI-dependent as AI tools massively lower the skill floor for both of those things, for better or worse.

I know it sounds pedantic, but really, something that does not exist can't do anything. Unicorns, for instance.
The idea of unicorns does exist, and human beings acting on that idea can do things.
But the blame lies entirely with the humans. Not with the unicorn.

my autistic kiwibrother, this is pedantic. clearly the issue being discussed is what is being changed by the existence of AI and humanity's interaction with it. nobody is discussing AI itself intentionally changing humans.

Well, as I am arguing in a different thread, there is no proof of AI existing. However, under the label of "AI", many existing products and services are being marketed, driving people into making very silly decisions that ultimately do not correspond with reality. They err.
It really is unfortunate that the capacity of volition means that humans can choose to abuse their capacity for thought.

I share your frustration with humanity, friend. we all resent the loathsome niggercattle.
