I've spent my career designing and building systems to help humans understand data and control computers. While I find this hard to swallow it's also hard to argue with. Tens of thousands of engineers and designers rebuilding slightly different drop-downs is an inefficient world that is unarguably coming to an end.

As so much of the first-line decision-making moves to LLMs there's definitely going to be opportunities for much richer and complex output from LLMs - how we can create terse and expressive visual summarisations/interfaces for where humans need to make decisions. But it's a much smaller world.

Where I suspect the wheels are going to come off for some though is that it's far, far easier to create a complex, difficult to understand UI than a simple one. And if simplicity and clarity are what enables effective LLM utilisation attempting to skip all that bothersome UX work will go poorly.

As long as branding is important, you're going to keep getting slightly different dropdowns. In fact, you could argue that in a front end world that's dominated by AI written code that pulls from standard libraries, branding and all its different dropdowns become more important than ever.
