The son is never going to live in a world that doesn't have deep learning.
Except if a big solar flare hits us ;}
And AI is just one strand. There are several strands that are as deeply changing, that is happening simultaneously.
I remember someone speaking about the shift between classical hard sci fi and more current sci-fi authors like Neal Stephenson or Peter Hamilton. The classical authors like Heinlein or Asimov might do world building where they just change one thing. What would the world be like if that one thing changed? After a certain point though, things were changing so fast that later authors didn't do that. There were too many things that changed at the same time.
