We spent decades moving beyond #commandline—toward #interfaces that made work visible.

Now we’re rebuilding everything as chat.
Not because it fits the work, but because the tech allows it.

This isn’t a technical shift. It’s a design regression worth debating.

The Conversation Trap: why defaulting to chat might be the biggest interaction design mistake of the AI era » { design@tive } information design

We didn’t evolve past command lines to return to them in disguise. Not every task should be conversational—and designers should know better.

I feel it's a shame that ChatGPT being the first genAI "killer app" now means that conversational UIs and chatbots dominate so much.

I think alternative ways to use LLMs are much more interesting - and it's annoyed me enough that I sat down and wrote a bit about 5 alternative ways to use them in the company tech blog: https://bakkenbaeck.com/tech/5-patterns-for-llms

Get Ready for Smart, Anticipatory, Contextual UIs, Driven by AI

For the first time in history, we are entering a new era of human-computer interaction, one that heralds a profound transformation. Existing methods of input and interaction will not disappear entirely but will be largely complemented by voice interfaces, gestures, and—perhaps the most significant change of all—new forms

You will be smarter.

Increasingly I am having clients approach me asking for help with conversational interfaces like AI chatbots. I really believe this has huge potential. Might be worth brushing up on your knowledge in this area. #AI #ConversationalUI https://boagworld.com/emails/the-rise-of-the-voice-and-conversational-interfaces/

Conversational interfaces have come a long way from simple chatbots. With advances in AI, they’re now almost indistinguishable from human interaction. I look at why you need to be paying attention to them now. #AI #ConversationalUI https://boagworld.com/emails/the-rise-of-the-voice-and-conversational-interfaces/

It's remarkable how much of my soul has been obliterated[1] in the past week programming for Amazon's Alexa platform:

* Crappy documentation
* Poor debugging feedback
* Non-deterministic behavior when things are "working"

Rather than writing useful business logic, I'm stuck in the code-equivalent of poking a gelatinous blob to see how it will react it I poke it some place or other.

[1] No worries, it'll grow back.
