Do I even need interfaces?

The article explores the evolution of human-computer interaction, from command lines to graphical interfaces that made technology accessible to the masses. The author analyzes how graphical shells simplified computing by hiding complex commands behind intuitive actions. However, the core premise is that the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) may lead to the obsolescence of traditional interfaces. According to the author, AI allows users to interact with systems using natural language, eliminating the need for menus, buttons, and icons. The article suggests rethinking the role of interfaces in the era of generative AI, where machines understand human intent and execute tasks without visual control intermediaries. This challenges the future of UI design as we know it.
