Inspired by The CTO Substack "What if we're building AI for the wrong decade?" (https://ctosub.com/p/what-if-were-building-ai-for-the) where Etienne de Bruin, founder of 7 CTOs, poses a fundamental, critical question - essentially, why are we shoehorning AI, an infinitely capable technology, into a computer interface that is over 50 years old?

(Etienne was the first CTO I ever had, back at Monk Development in Old Town San Diego. I had no idea how lucky I was!)

Ah - great point! When money is involved, trust becomes critical, and legacy UIs will probably be the way to go for the foreseeable future (at _least_ as a confirmation step).

Perhaps a spectrum will be established along those lines. The more formal flows that necessitate trust will remain the legacy WIMP interface of yesterday. The more informal the usage, the closer we'll get to full AI UI, including voice integration.
