>I don't see any future where programs follow the static nature of old paradigm programming. A nice intuitive UI? What about just telling the app what I need when I need it? The gold standard of consumer UI is...another person.

Maybe it’s just the ‘tism, but I hard disagree that I would ever say another person is a superior interface into… anything? It’s slow, they may misinterpret you, they have their own ideas and motivations, they’re (mostly) expensive because the only reason I need them is because there’s information / skill asymmetry. I don’t know that many or even most of those problems are resolved with ai, in some ways the problems are amplified.
