Unless I am wildly misreading this, this is actually worse that both GUIs and LLMs combined.
LLMs offer a level of flexibility and non-determinism that allow them to adapt to different situations.
GUIs offer precision and predictability - they are the same every time. Which means people can learn them and navigate them quickly. If you've ever seen a bank teller or rental car agent navigate a GUI or TUI they tab through and type so quickly because they have expert familliarity.
But this - with a non-determinstic user interface generated by AI, every time a user engages with a UI its different. So they a more rigid UI but also a non-deterministic set of options every time. Which means instead of memorising what is in every drop down and tabbing through quickly, they need to re-learn the interface every time.
Love this, this is what I have been envisioning as a LLM first OS! Feels like truly organic computing. Maybe Minority Report figured it out way back then.
The idea of having the elements anticipated and lowering the cognitive load of searching a giant drop down list scratches a good place in my brain. Instantly recognize it as such a better experience than what we have on the web.
I think something like this is the long term future for personal computing, maybe I'm way off, but this the type of computing I want to be doing, highly customized to my exact flow, highly malleable to improvement and feedback.
Of course not. Users love the chatbot. It's fast and easier to use than manually searching for answers or sticking together reports and graphs.
There is no latency, because the inference is done locally. On a server at the customer with a big GPU

This is something I agree with.Will be interesting to see if more and more people take this philosophy up.
