Taylor Town’s retrospective rereads AI predictions in Kevin Kelly’s 2016 book The Inevitable from a 2026 perspective. Conversational access to knowledge, cloud AI supplied by a small number of companies, and utility-style consumption are presented as resembling reality. In contrast, the expectation that most AI would remain specialized is judged to conflict with the spread of general-purpose models. This is commentary based on quotations from the book, not an independently verified analysis of current market figures such as whether AI revenue has surpassed search.
