I just have to say that I consider this an absolutely hilarious outcome. For many years, I focused on tech solutions that eliminated the need for a human to be in front of a computer doing tedious manual operations. For a wide range of activities, I proposed we focus on "turning everything in the world into database objects" so that computers could operate on them with minimal human effort. I spent significant effort in machine learning to achieve this.
It didn't really occur to me that you could just train a computer to work directly on the semi-structured human world data (display screen buffer) through a human interface (mouse + keyboard).
However, I fully support it (like all the other crazy ideas on the web that beat out the "theoretically better" approaches). I do not think it is unrealistic to expect that within a decade, we could have computer systems that can open chrome, start a video chat with somebody, go back and forth for a while to achieve a task, then hang up... with the person on the other end ever knowing they were dealing with a computer instead of a human.
