I've seen several examples of devs using AI to write or help write complex web sites, with fields and checkboxes and dropdowns, etc.

The question is, why bother. Just give the user a chatGPT box where they can ask the AI to do the thing, instead of having to navigate a bunch of web UI.

If the AIs can write programs, they can do much much more, eg setup a facebook marketing campaign, configure a bunch of AWS instances, etc, no web UI required.

Conversational interfaces aren’t a great way to rapidly consume information, and they probably aren’t more efficient than a task-focused interface for active interaction in most cases, either. With sufficiently-capable backing model, they seem to be awesome for generality, but that isn’t the be-all, end-all of UI concerns.

Who wants to debug a program written by an AI? I mean, can you imagine how inaccurate the annotations might be in such code? While it can be terrific at certain tasks of reproduction it's level of knowledge could still be considered superficial.

Another AI, obviously.

I thought about this, and the answer I think is no one. Because no one wants to debug code...
