François Chollet predicts the arrival of AI that can do a typical human's computer tasks is coming "sooner," with progress outpacing his expectations. Afinetheorem adds that Chollet now sits in the "AI can do anything a typical human can on a computer by 2029 at the latest" camp — which should be your prior — and that non-hyperbolic insiders he's heard put it at 2027. This aligns with GPT-6 Astra's computer-use positioning.
