Jobs remarked, “We are now entering another revolution of free energy. Macintosh (Mac computer) uses less power than a few of those light bulbs, and yet can save us a few hours a day or give us a whole new experience. And it’s free intellectual energy.

He further added, “So my hope is someday when the next Aristotle is alive, we can capture the underlying worldview of that Aristotle, in a computer, and someday some students will be able to not only read the words Aristotle wrote but ask Aristotle a question and get an answer. And that’s what I hope that we can do. So this is the beginning.”

Steve Jobs' forward-thinking vision in 1985 foreshadowed the development of advanced AI tools like ChatGPT, which are now revolutionizing how we interact with technology.
