Exactly my point. Why do I need a custom UI for every LOB task under the sun? Just let me use a common interface to address all manner of uninteresting data problems. The UI goes away, or fades into the background, and the focus rests solely on the information I need, and the decisions I make, which I can dive deeper into with a focused AI companion.

Seems like a no-brainer.

Maybe folks LIKE clicking on buttons and going through 10-step procedures to get tasks done.

Some mice like the maze more than the cheese, I guess.
