No one? In my opinion we are not there yet. Right now "chat" is the killer UX, I think conversational inputs will take over for a time... right now my killer AI app is a home brew slack bot RAG pipeline for my own knowledge base building and searching... Why share it, its free now... I think this will also be a trend. Those who can, those who cant.

Chat sucks and will be replaced in almost all cases, I suspect. Speaking is much easier for many tasks, traditional UIs for others. Mediating everything through a keyboard is clunky and slow.

      Try typing for 4h and talking for 4h. Leaving aside the problem that you can no longer share a space if you interact by talking.

        Talking is still faster, and I can do it while my hands and eyes are occupied, so I definitely don't see typing ever being the preferred interface. You'd never type to interact with an assistant while driving.

You all took chat as a single type of interaction... "CHAT" as I put it, is typing, talking, screen readers, etc... conversational UX...
