| The predictions the article makes are a bit unimaginative and shallow. The timeline is also somewhat extremely long. It's more like late 2023 than 2027. So, Language Model UX in 2024 according to me: - Pervasive: Virtual assistants are omnipresent, and integrate everything together. Like Alexa that is actually intelligent and can for example make you a custom app for interfacing with your banking following your preferences on-the-fly for you only. Web apps become meaningless as you are getting the UI you need customized, tailor-made, live when you need it. Agents go with you in smartphones or project to any device nearby. No need for authentication, bots know you. - Agentic: They will negotiate with each others all the time and present a unified interface to you no matter which system you are interacting with. The air is full of silent chatter. Things move when you aren't watching. Progress is decoupled from human input, attention and care. - Web searches and such are for bots. Answering phones is for bots. Making calls is for bots. Any person still grasping at these kinds of interfaces will notice all emails they get are from bots, and all emails they send are instantly answered by bots. Just let go, let the machines handle that, which brings me to: - Intermediation: No matter what you do, a bot will help you with it. Swiping Tinder? Don't bother, a bot does it better for you. Just lay back and relax. Ads become targeted to bots and truthful, because the bots won't forgive misrepresentation, ever. |
