Or, more probably IMHO, most people will keep using the standard UIs because they are ready and they need no work to build.
Now they extracted the value from interoperable open systems, they would love to replace it with closed proprietary systems.
How do sites like Wikipedia get updated? What if I need to upload important documents to different portals? It all has to go through the AI companies? They have access to medical records too? My taxes, social security, etc?
Is this how Microsoft imagines Office 365 and Sharepoint will be merged into? Disney, NY Times, Youtube, Netflix will all be fine with chatbots handling their content?
yes you and everyone else.
I used to see it a lot in China, like the idea of pinching something on one phone and transferring it to another, or identification by showing your palm.
It's also the type of UI you would see in Hollywood movies, both because it's stuff that laymen scriptwriters and directors would find interesteng, but also the audiences would. Like the motion based UI in Minority Report, whatever was in the movie hackers, or that laptop suitcase thing that allows you to deploy nuclear codes or send wires.
I mean, I don't want to be a snob, clearly people like it, at least initially, I think it's outsider art of sorts, of course it will have problems, but it's not less legitimate because of that.
Anyways, this Intelligent UI thing where you ask it how a bike is made and it unravels a hollywood visual report as if it were showing the interiors of the target in a war room conference, it reminds me of that type of futurisitic outsider UI.
