> UI/UX conventions that help users get what they’re trying to accomplish in fewer steps If we can expect the past 15 years of software UI/UX history to continue, it's more likely they'll spend the money on making the UI/UX more confusing, removing features, and making basic tasks take more steps than they do today. | ||

That’s because the past 15 years were dictated by Web 2.0 companies that make their money off keeping you glued to the screen. A AI assistant would work more like Planet Fitness where the goal is to figure out how to convince you to keep paying them while using the facilities as little as possible. A big part of that might just be steering you towards repos of existing solutions to the problem you’re trying to solve rather than helping you vibe code a solution yourself. Over time they’ll be able to accrue a whole pile of canned functions that’s all automatically documented and audited and it’ll be able to plug and play those rather than having to rewrite. The security implications of this give me a headache to contemplate to be honest. | ||
