Ideas now worth something

We are rapidly entering an era of infinite choice, which will evolve alongside our desire to delegate decisions to machines.
We haven’t yet adapted to the abundance of choices available today—not just in clothes, cars, music, and movies, but also in careers, partners, and even gender. We've only recently discovered such options, and humanity hasn't quite adjusted. I bet you know what it feels like.
Yet here we are, on the brink of a new world poised to offer us truly infinite choices. With AI modeling (images and music are just the tip of the iceberg) and 3D printing technology, it’s just around the corner.
Super-personalized goods and content, made specifically for you, will be available, where you can choose every aspect. But can our psyche handle it?

I think not; we cannot handle it.
We will end up letting machines decide (in many aspects of our lives). We will likely strive to be led by the machine.
This would create a strange relationship of trust and suspicion, love and hate, spiced with the ever-present question: "Am I paying too much for my AI assistant?"
