vs conversational ui

Well, oh well.

Can you relate? My feeds are full of people throwing ever-growing superlatives about the work and outcome of AI.

I get it. The tools are amazing.

Let’s get out of here / the job is done / RIP this and that / let’s think about Mars.

But one sentence / some random dude / some random platform / LINKEDIN / made me laugh so much. It was the pinnacle to all the superlatives.

Language, language he said. Language is the new best interface.



Left some space so you can get your pants back on.

Now / language is great.
I have absolutely nothing against language. Hell, I use it daily. Most days I wish I’d used it less / but yeah. Language / got to love language, man.

But as the one / the only / the absolute best, most advanced interface for humans to interact with anything?

YES / yes I say / yes / yes / yes.

Yes in a world where we’re 1000% smarter, and each of us knows a million words, and at any point we are capable of accessing this vast chest of words. Yes / in that world / language is the one / the only interface we will ever need.

In all the other worlds.

Just shut the f up.
