This might force a reaction back the other way.

Post-pandemic we are more aware of the value of IRL connections and shun the virtual. For these reasons the much prophesied metaverse will never take off.

My point is that artists might settle on building physical assets that add value to people's actual spaces rather than vacuous digital ones. An AI might generate text on a screen but it cannot create a handwritten piece of correspondence; imagine is AI caused our communication flow to slow down as we await a letter rather than an email.

We'd get so much time back.
