"By measuring our heart rate, respiration, pupil size, and eye movement, our AI’s will be able to map our psychology in high resolution. And armed with this information, our interfaces will morph and adapt to our mood as we go about our day."

Totally disagree.

Consistency is one of the primary foundations of UI, and most adaptions made today are really quite problematic.

They haven't really given any examples of either this specific prediction, or even the predictions at large.

Second is the issue of integration - our homes could all be fully automated today if we could agree on a bunch of protocols, but we don't.

Shoot - even our mail is stolen from our porches because we can't get our act together on 'lock box' situations for the neighbourhood etc..

There's no practical reason to have my pulse, sweat, stress levels perpetually monitored, let alone have that integrated into some arbitrary app so they can adjust the ads I see.

So no.

This is 'peak AI hype' kind of stuff.
