I think the more interesting world is where AI assistants overtake the GUI as the primary interface for many operating system functions.
It's my belief that the lasting innovation of LLMs will be finally making voice a true first order interface for our computers. "We'll just be talking to them" is something I've heard since the 90s and it seems like we can finally see that reality on the horizon.
- idle_zealot 3y agoThat sounds endlessly frustrating. Imagine trying to use your computer and the primary way to accomplish anything is to convince/prompt-engineer some two-bit LLM into doing it. First you have to convince it that what you're doing is ethical and doesn't violate its safety guidelines, then you have to get it to actually translate your natural language into the actions you want to perform, which will be more difficult the less common those actions are, and finally you need to check its action plan for any subtle errors or misinterpretation. It would be like operating a computer by way of a phone call with an annoying relative who doesn't quite know how to use one. This will be the case until we have AI agents that are as intelligent and competent as a top-percentile human personal assistant. At the point where that's possible though, I doubt the future of phone interfaces will be the most interesting change.
- botulidze 3y agoWhen it comes to GUI, I can click faster than I talk. Sometimes typing would be a bit faster as well, in case you need to correct an error. Also, imagine a bunch of people talking all day long in an open space instead of mouse clicking/typing. Brain to machine signaling interface is the logical step forward if we really want to be faster at input.
