Daniel Faggella: deep AI symbiosis will be needed long before BCI arrives

Futurist Daniel Faggella argues humans will need extreme AI immersion and symbiosis well before brain-computer interfaces become viable. His chart contrasts today's AI-tool era with a near future where sleep is nearly eliminated, work hits 120+ hours, hobbies become embedded AI micro-experiences, body maintenance is automated, and human relationships are replaced by AI companions. His essay extends the argument: ambitious people have always traded sleep and relationships for productivity, and AI will remove even those maintenance activities, transforming the entire human condition.
