    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...

    Interesting..

      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.

        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.

          > people don’t like animations and yearn for text and links only

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

            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.
