The entire field of UI design exists because it's almost impossible to capture user intent even when you present them with a damn button that has their intent written on it.

UI design is about guiding people through a series of explicit and difficult-to-fuck-up gates to make it clear what they want.

What about voice inputs or AI is so powerful that it could entirely reverse that trend and go the other way to a UI where you can say whatever you want and still end up with a UI that's impossible to fuck up?

I really think the AI bulls should spend just a little time on a serious, professional interaction* design team working on a product that's critical to daily commerce before they go announcing that voice obsolete screens.

\* not graphic design, not motion design, not UI design. Nuts and bolts interaction designers who are responsible for metrics
