Text CB2A2
Anyone who has interacted with superbot ChatGPT or image generator DALL-E might be wondering what the future of artificial intelligence (AI) holds for humanity.
ChatGPT is an AI program that generates text in a very human-like manner when asked questions. Just ask DALL-E or similar programs to create a picture of a French bulldog driving a pink convertible and voila: you’ll see several versions in seconds.
Science fiction in the mid-20th century created good-natured AI such as the computer on Star Trek helping the Enterprise crew, as well as its evil twin set on destroying its creators like HAL in Arthur C. Clarke’s famous book (or Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film adaptation) 2001: A Space Odyssey. In 2023, however, we’re surrounded by AI that’s far more mundane than those examples. The virtual assistant in your smartphone, the airline chatbot and the robot vacuum cleaning your floors don’t seem to have any aspirations to rise above humanity and have been designed to help us.
We should be prepared for bigger things to come than games, better chatbots or photo generators. Connectivity is key: think of AI as a general-purpose innovation like electricity that powers and connects other technologies, including sensors, robots, genomic devices and 3D printers. AI’s use will only intensify and accelerate as faster computing technology is developed, along with greater sensors capturing data, often called the Internet of Things (IoT). In the future, AI will be interwoven in virtually every aspect of commercial and personal activities.

In the future, AI will be interwoven in virtually every aspect of commercial and personal activities.
Tradução via google: No futuro, a IA estará entrelaçada em praticamente todos os aspectos das atividades comerciais e pessoais.
Acredito que ao juntar in+virtually = praticamente logo quer dizer aproximadamente (nearly).
Virtually, de acordo com o Cambridge Dictionary:
Ex: Their twins are virtually identical.
Ex: That wine stain on my shirt has virtually disappeared.
Dicionário de Sinônimos: sinônimos, antônimos e exemplos:
- Not completely
- Almost: We need to hurry up - it's almost time to go.
- Nearly: It's nearly midnight.
If you want to emphasize how close you are to being in a particular state, you can use the adverbs virtually or practically. Virtually is a little more formal than practically.
Ex: Don't say such nasty things about her - she's practically family!
Ex: The laws around this have remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of years.

Virtually = virtualmente; Nearly = aproximadamente - Traduções literárias.
Porém a frase: In the future, AI will be interwoven in virtually every aspect of commercial and personal activities; traz como sentido praticamente.
Nesse contexto, nearly and virtually apresentam o mesmo significado.
Pra mim, é óbvio que nearly e virtually não são sinônimos, entretanto interwoven traz o sentido de "entrelaçado" e a expressão "interwoven in virtually" traz sim um sentido de proximidade - "No futuro, a IA estará virtualmente entrelaçada em todos os aspectos comercias e atividades pessoais" - Ou seja, a IA estará cada vez mais próxima do nosso cotidiano.
