Artificial Intelligence (AI)

This is for sure coming and those close to me know I’ve been talking about it for a while. 

Interfaces of the future will be generated in real-time

❌ generative interfaces...

the gas-powered car was invented in 1886.

the driver steered with a tiller, a joy-stick thing used to steer boats. push the tiller to left, the car turned right. and vice versa.

steering sucked. it was hard to use and car crashes were common.

steering wheels weren’t widely adopted until 1904. 

it took nearly 20 years for the interaction design to evolve from tillers to steering wheels.

it took nearly 20 years to figure out that the old design doesn’t fit the new technology.

i wonder how long it will take to realize that clicking buttons doesn’t fit in LLM paradigms.

UIs as we know them are the tillers of the next phase of the internet.

I wrote a piece on this called Clay UX… it’s very rough and needs molding.

But the metaphor kind of captures how the UI needs to be fluid, just like our input. Then again, who knows? Maybe simply prompting and googling prompt structure will be the wave for the next 30 years before quantum.
