Watching the screencast I realize how often text and an editor are a replacement for lists, treeviews, tabs, scrollbars etc. Maybe AI is the answer for enforcing the format and for discoverability since it provides GUI-like hand holding without the hassle of actually writing GUI code.

AI is never the answer.

  It could be the next version of the Emacs Doctor though. https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/14xwue3/chatgpt_visits_the_emacs_doctor/ https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/14xwue3/chatgpt_visi... Although it looks like someone had the doctor talking to ChatGPT.

  It's not how it's being pitched, because nobody wants you to admit "bullshit" out loud, especially when it reflects the "work" that's been done for years. But it _is_ how people are actually using it; as a rubber ducking tool + autocomplete, and in that regard, I think AI has a ton of utility for a ton of creative work, especially since nobody wants to talk to actual people if they can help it...

    Not at all, someone here for example yesterday posted a summarize tool...
