It's fascinating how chat became the default UX for the way we interact with AI consumer apps. Yes, it has a cognitive load for users to have to articulate their thoughts, formulate questions, and think through use cases. But maybe that's actually a feature, not a bug.
The friction of having to write out what you want forces us to clarify our thinking. It's like the last workout our brains get in an increasingly automated world.
My fear is that if we optimize this away completely, with one-click templates, pre-written prompts, and instant solutions, we'll atrophy our basic cognitive skills. We're already seeing this with GPS destroying our sense of direction, or autocorrect weakening our spelling.
There's definitely value in reducing friction with templates and quick-start buttons. But we need to find the sweet spot between accessibility and maintaining our ability to think, write, and problem-solve independently. 2 replies

Things I’ve noticed in Portugal:
- The roads and city are super clean! I really barely saw any trash around especially in Algarve natural regions
- Gas is super expensive, and people here drive like they are in GTA
- Don’t think crypto was as widely adopted as I thought, asked multiple vendors and they all didn’t even know what crypto currency was. Of course I’d love to explain however language barrier was preventing me to say anything resourceful
- Lisbon felt super touristy, not many locals live there as much anymore. Porto felt a lot more authentic and traditional.
- I think Algarve is one of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve ever seen. Amazing natural rock formations. I enjoyed exploring and swimming around here. If I were to go back, I’d mainly visit Algarve
- Water is served room temperature: Nothing is overly sweet like they do in the US
- People don’t walk their dogs on leashes! I’m so impressed at how well trained their dogs are because they all just roam around without leashes.
- With that, I also didn’t notice any stray dogs, which makes me wonder if there were any or they have some shelter policy.
- I did not see a single obese person, most Portuguese folks are super fit and to add on that really good looking!
- Produce feels so good and fresh.
- Didn’t notice much fast food, only McDonald’s and Burger king ( both American chains 🥲)
- Lot of Bangladeshi, Nepali workers here serve as labor for restaurants, uber drivers, running souvenir shops, etc. seems they come here to earn better money to eventually save up and send to family back home.
- Never fly Ryan Air —> destined for the most horrible experiences 3/3 delay 0 reply
