I would love it if we got the ship's computer. That doesn't seem to be anywhere on the horizon.
Until recently there was a button on my phone I could press to get immediate directions somewhere, to start a timer, any number of other things etc. A few months ago they updated the button, now it just searches Google.
I don't think rational interfaces of the sort you described will win out. Windows peaked at 7, which was an all but perfect desktop operating system, and they deliberately wrecked it.
The companies who've invested in this technology and control the hardware don't work by solving problems and queries straightforwardly. Rather they are very good at getting in between you and the solution/answer. Even on a B2B level - don't get me started on enterprise CRMs.
I also don't think it would make any sense for me to browse images and fiddle with prompts all day trying to make something happen programmatically, maybe, instead of just writing the code that will surely make it happen.
Copilot and chat gpt the other hand are amazing assets for now.
- amiantos 3y agoI think it's fun to consider how the capitalist mentality of "always be growing" has influenced the software we use. There is some software we've used all our lives that has hardly changed, it is dependable, and maybe we paid for it once, long ago. Then there is software that is constantly changing, and in some cases, it feels like too many even if it isn't, getting worse as a result. Windows actively pushes changes on users driven by this mentality, now we have a Copilot button, to replace the Cortana button I'd previously disabled. What will replace the Copilot button when they've decided too many customers have disabled it?
