People seem calm in here, but I really now think is replacing a lot of industries. Like Website Designer. I totally see people asking chatgpt to build them a website instead of paying them 2,000 USD.
Soon it will connect to Ads and it will runs for it as well.
Honestly since Opus 5.5, Opus is my interface for 95% off my work. I don’t open emails anymore i let it summarize draft and handle most of the work and I only talk to Claude and not read/write the emails myself.
I also barely go in analytics dashboards anymore, Most I do is creating artifacts to explain if text is not enough for me to understand.
I’m going to bed. I have analytics running for every cancellation on my software to see what goes on. I have a/b tests running that are getting interpreted automatically. My bugs are getting fixed automatically.
I can monitor my competitors and copy every feature a/b test resolution they’ve done instantly for (3$ of my budget)
I’m an early adaptor of the latest models. The labs will have better tools already, but it really feels like a breaking point. What’s normal for me today is normal for more tomorrow and the friction has never been lower...
AI will also replace the "profession" of website visitor. Nobody will care about a website itself, because (1) AI will crawl it, and (2) people will just ask AI directly.
That's an interesting future where everyone's personal agent basically renders their own interpretation of information that's out there. And seems like the logical end state.
"make the world agree and act such that I am the best at anything and never have to change, all of my current world views are what they should be" yea at that point why even connect to any other person ever. Plug straight into the narcissism machine with 5% hallucination rate...
My understanding of these predictions was more like the UI is headless and rendered from the http response/JSON etc rather than the entire thing is generated ad-hoc.
People just do this anyways and we have all kinds of "bias" and "fallacy" labels to identify the ways in which they do so. We've also known about the impossibility of making people understand something in exactly the same way that you do for all of recorded history (and probably longer). Pearls before swine, can't make a horse drink, none so blind, etc. you can disseminate as much information as you want but people will ignore it, misinterpret it, reinterpret it to suit their own beliefs or potentially, even interpret it more correctly than you have (shocking, I know).
Sorry if I'm reading your comment the wrong way but it seems like this is the interpretation that many people would have (ha!), if you meant it more ambiguously then I apologize. I'd agree in the case where this is a neutral outcome where some will use it to delude themselves, many will use it in a way that doesn't stray too far from the norm and others will use it to great effect to improve their understanding.
I think we have seen this sort of 'process' before, with the introduction of GPU acceleration and fast animation on UIs. It played out like this:
1. Software is fast and UI is instant, things happen instantly
2. UI is instant and software is slow - UI will lag
3. UI is animated with transitions and sofware is slow - people are initially happy, but it wears off in weeks
4. Software gets optimized, now UI animations take longer than getting the underlying data
5. The logical endpoint. Software is fast. UI needs to be instant Remove all animation and let UI render instantly; This is what most users actually prefer.
The parallel with LLM websites is direct imo. We're now getting these fancy websites, but once the magic wears off, everyone will go back to the 'text and links on page' style.
I think the ability to retrieve and display data in <20ms, thereby leading to interactions that are instant is still an open and underexplored UX issue.
What if you could just hover a link and all the important data would just appear?
What if you started typing a command in console, and the execution results would appear speculatively as soon as you hit the key?
Some programs do this to some limited degree, but besides the humble textbox and outside videogames, instant interactivity is seldom seen.
Text is not ideal in many cases. I work with CNC algorithms. I have opus 5.5 optimising algorithms. When I don't understand what it is blathering on about I ask it to sketch some svg animations to explain itself. I've been shocked at how on point most of them are. You still have to watch out for the odd hallucination but I have some base prompts that tell it always to use scripts and real math to generate SVG rather than do it by inference. With some tweaking it can create some shockingly godd one off animations to explain part of an algorithm it's working on. Text is simply difficult to comprehend when a picture can do the job much better.

I don’t think this is the case in general, well done animations are nice.

SUBSTANCE.
That's all that matters.

It'll be something else - 'agents' paradigm will evolve and look nothing like it does today. After OAI etc crash and burn that is.
