To a certain extent I think we get a better understanding what llms can do, and my estimation for the next ten years is more like best UI ever rather than llms will replace humanity. Now best UI ever is something that can certainly deliver a lot of value, 80% of all buttons in a car should be replaced by actually good voice control, and I think that is were we are going to see a lot of very interesting applications: Hey washing machine, this is two t-shirts and a jeans. (The washing machine can then figure out it's program by itself, I don't want to memorize the table in the manual.)

I think buttons should not be replaced, but rather augmented with voice control. I certainly want to be able to adjust air conditioning or use my washing machine while listening music or having otherwise noisy environemnt.

To each their own, but I don’t look forward to having my kids yelling, a podcast in my ears and having to explain to my tumbler that wool must be spun at 1000 RPM. Humans have varying preferences when it comes to communication and sensing, making our machine interactions favor the extroverted talkative exhibitionists is really only one modality.
