Language is the ultimate interface. The highest standard of UX is the genie that does as one wishes. The best interface is no interface.

- woojoo666 4y agoProgramming languages are languages as well though. Every language has tradeoffs, and there are multiple natural languages (english, chinese, spanish, etc). I'd be surprised if english was the best tool for every task
- jacobr1 4y ago> I'd be surprised if english was the best tool for every task Certainly not - language models (including multi-lingual models) map words to some kind of (300ish?) multi-dimensional concept space. I wonder if we can translate that back to some sort of symbolic representation that is much more precise than human language. Some kind of IR where we could compile human into representing but also program against. I suspect the early prolog people were attempting something like this but were very wrong about framing reasoning as logical deduction rather than a stochastic process.
