One of the massive lessons of the AI hype is users hate much of the self indulgent output of the tech industry in the prior decade.
The two major areas are writing and design, where way too much blog style tech writing injects so many side comments that it conceals any substance, and design has become about the expression of the designer as opposed to connecting users to what they are trying to achieve. The emergence of these chat interfaces side steps both, although unfortunately the writing style of LLMs tends to ape many of the worst aspects of human writing it can at least be told to filter it out.
I once worked with a product team that wrote a user story "The system should establish the user intention and then do it" and they're dangerously close to getting something resembling what they asked for, but it will get rid of our current work divisions of product/dev/design in the process, along with the associated tooling.
