I see some good points here but overall I disagree. Traditionally all UI have required people to adapt to how machines work. We need to memorize commands and navigate clunky interfaces that are painstakingly assembled (often unsuccessfully) by UX research and UI teams.
The chat reverses this. It is now machines adapting to how we communicate. I can see some UI sugar finding its way into this new way of interaction, but we should start over and force the change to keep it on our terms.
- jltsiren 2y agoChat UI can be intuitive if it sees the context. If you can make single-sentence queries and the AI understands enough of the context to guess what you actually meant and to extrapolate the details, it can be very powerful. But if you actually need precise and detailed queries for good outcomes, it's not very natural. Explaining things clearly is often harder than understanding them or doing them yourself.
