Is AI just going to be the new UI? (lemmy.world)

I work in tech, and both with and around AI. Seems to me that it needs to be highly constrained to do a good job. Too much leeway and it goes astray. So more and more I see people developing skills for AI that basically run scripts or do tightly defined tasks that are pretty much like scripts. So to me it feels like the future of our current version of AI is most likely to be a user interface. And it could add a lot there. Many teams have lots of scripts to do tasks, but the people who need them either can't find them, or don't even know to look. AI can solve that. Thoughts?

Chat interface is one of the least effective ways to do things. We have already been there with voice assistants just a couple of years ago. "Voice is the new UI" and all that. The thing never took off.

    I'm not so sure about that. Real time voice recognition is still pretty poor in my opinion. Chat takes that out of the way. So the failure of voice doesn't mean chat can't work. And think of how often you use grep. It's pretty effective. AI can be a more advanced form or grep. And most importantly, we can tune where it looks and such. So like an easier to configure search engine, or really several that can be tuned for the specific search. If a search engine in the form of an AI skill can be highly specific, it can be better then a general search engine. Now put like 10 or 15 of those together with specifics to how your specific team/company works. And toss configuring the AI on top of that to know which one to use for what. Feels like we could make it very good. But of course, it isn't going to work out of the box. We have to take ownership of it and make it work. Then give it to the whole team...
