I love this

seems useful for most of the folks that just want to do stuff without going through (over)complicated UIs...

But I feel dumber just by looking at it. If this is how this will look like in 10 years, why to make desktop at all. Just connect mic and speaker to your PC or talk to the phone: 'I need new pair of socks. Order 10 for me. In your favourige color it will be 21.37. Should I charge your credit card?'.

It is not like most of the people enjoy computers. I am pretty sure they do not. They just need them to operate systems they need: government websites, banks, maps, restaurant menus etc. If some agent will do that for them, why bother looking at screen at all? Rich people have it with their own personal assistants.

While it's vibe-coded, I'm immensely enjoying the creativity which AI has enabled. These apps would never have been built before, and I find it so fun to see how AI is being used to provide (semi) useful things for people who need it.

I found this awesome vibe-coded Pixel News Network project recently. How fucking cool is this?? Would never have been created otherwise. https://pnn.watch/

Meh, would have been cool-ish a few years back, now everyone and their grandmas could build something similar given enough tokens. Hard to be excited when similar gadget projects are a dime a dozen. I also don't think that AI use enables much in the way of creativity. It allows people to delegate their judgment to the model, which defaults to humdrum middle-of-the-road choices. Only the very high-level decisions remain personal, leading to a lack of texture past the first glance, so to speak. Not saying that it cannot be used with intentionality, just that it rarely is.

I actually somewhat enjoyed the times when vibed projects were a broken mess, lots of accidental comedy in that era.
