**[Elon Musk Predicts: Traditional Phones and Apps Will Disappear in Five Years, Most Content Consumed by Humans Will Be AI-Generated]** BlockBeats News, November 2 — Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted a radical future during a podcast episode: in the next 5-6 years, traditional phones and apps will disappear, and most of the content consumed by humans will be generated by AI. Musk stated, "In the future, there will be no operating systems, no apps. Your phone will simply display pixels and emit sounds, predicting what you most want to see and hear, and then generating it in real time. We will integrate AI into this device as much as possible... There will no longer be phones in the traditional sense. What we call phones will essentially be edge nodes for AI inference, equipped with some radio modules for connectivity." Musk proposed the idea that, fundamentally, server-side AI will communicate with the AI on user devices (formerly known as phones) and generate any real-time video content desired by the user. *(Yicai)*
