Post-Chat UI: How LLMs are making traditional apps feel broken.

DOS

You typed text. Scrolling text came back. It was:

- Powerful

- Flexible for power users

- Easy to program

But also, since it was centered around a blank input field, it was:

- Daunting

- Unintuitive

- Bad for selecting and manipulating stuff

Fortunately, in the intervening decades our user interfaces got much better. We got graphical interfaces. We got direct manipulation, visual navigation, and rich thoughtful user experiences. It was great!
