It's infecting everything. The other day I overheard someone saying "we don't need to expose a query interface, we'll just give users a text box and let them use natural language". Total brain rot.

My PM has been talking about converting half our product into a "conversational UI", meaning what used to be buttons would be turned into a textbox that sends a request to an AI API that will in turn trigger the same action as before. Of course, it shits itself 80% of the time, but AI!!!11!

It's total lunacy, I feel like I'm in a mental asylum sometimes.
