Ignore legalities for now, just think about purely technical side of this.

Imagine this example.

some random buisness, they have a lab. Some old computers control the heating and plumbing systems, some other old computers control lab equipemnt, meybe theres even some old Windows AD holding it all together.

Now, a few years from now: In comes a 19" box. It has AI in it, specifically trained to do "computing"..

You plug it in, feed it all your network maybe give it all your credentials (or maybe not and let the thing just pentest your shit and fix it). The box takes some time to check out these systems, see the inputs see the outputs, decompiles the logic of the particular system (or gains insight in other ways) and then replaces it alltogether?

Not just taking it over and control it, but straight up emulating what it does. Think of it like when straight after chatgpt release where people asked it to emulate a unix box and they could create files and write stuff and so on. Think that to the extreme. There is no actual linux, just a super fast, super acurate brain that holds all the high level info that we need and does away with all the underlying shit that enables these high level things.

Noone really needs authentification in their IT. Its just a crutch so that we can instruct our IT to behave like we want it to.

But when you just can tell the computer that Randy from acoouinting should be able to to do thing x AND IT UNDERSTANDS IT LIKE WE DO, you dont need all that overhead crap anymore.

All this stuff, AD, Auth, all the underlying OS, every piece of circumstantial software. ALL THAT GOES IN THE TRASH.

because when you have a computer that understands high level concepts or why all this underlying shit is just there to enable these, it should be able to emulate all that, with the same results.

Think further: imagine GIS user (employee that creates maps of all various sorts). He needs a computer with the OS, with the GIS Software. The infrastructure needs a server to hold all the GIS Data that he uses to create maps. You need a printer, maybe a print server, maybe even more peripheral systems. Also Authetication and all that.

But when you tell a multimodal AI that understands, that Chrisi from the map departemtn should be able to create GIS Style maps and print them out, all you need is the AI Box and a perinter, maybe a display. Chrisi just tells the AI, I need a map of that location with these data in it and it syntesizes how that map qwould look like in the actuial product, refromts that data into a printerstream and prints it out directly.

Think further: you have a socket in the wall, out comes internet. You plug the box straight into that and that is it. You want a webshop for your products? you just tell it, vial natural language "hey, i need a webshop" and it starts to accept incoming http and creates a shop behind it. you dont need to tell it where the data is that descibes the products. You just show it the product and tells it what it can do. Maybe, maybe depending on information available to it, it might just straight up NOT have an actual webshop behind it, but synthesizes an impression of one, tailored exactly towrds that indicidual customer in that very moment.

Im sure im still thinking to small here.

Am I on the right path of thinking? I mean there surely are some caveats and hiccups along the road, but

How feasible is this?

Is traditional IT done for good in a few years?

I realise this, of course, is some kind of bubble and self reinforcing community, but honestly, realistically, is this feasible or a pipe dream?
