I think a big sticking point is chat isn't UX, unless of course 10 years from now we're all actually living in the movie Her... Rebuilding existing apps with AI as a first class citizen seems like the name of the game right now

That’s not the point, a surveillance state where the panopticon autonomously gives $250 tickets is the issue Rules aren’t meant to be cold hard algorithms to blindly punish people with; we wouldn’t automate a judge with an algorithm why is
