Yes, but I would rather the AI determine which actions these are and dynamically generate UI elements for me instead of relying on whatever shithead UI/UX person at LinkedIn wants me to look at to trick me into sharing all of my contact book.

I think era of shithead AI is also coming.

Yep. The notion that AIs, funded by companies like Microsoft of all places, is going to lead to a golden age of user interfaces boggles my mind.

To be fair, didn't they actually do that with the UI element it's named after (windows...)?

I think the menu bar, the window with the header bar and the action buttons where all pioneered by them back then, or am I mistaken?

It's been 30 yrs though, so I get what you mean.

IIRC, Microsoft "borrowed" the design from Apple Macintosh, which in turn was based on Xerox's technology. So no, they weren't the pioneers.

That's fair, I think the Microsoft of 30 years ago did pretty well with UIs. That said, given the state of Windows 11 and their other modern products I think their current priorities are quite a bit different.

It was trained on the internet. Shithead AI is already lurking beneath the veneer.

User: Turn off email notifications for LinkedIn.

ShitGPT: Are you sure you want to turn them off? LinkedIn notifications helpfully provide you with the latest news about your workplace and collogues past and present.

User: Yes, turn them off.

ShitGPT: Did you know that research has proven that employees with LinkedIn notifications turned on earn 10% higher salaries compared to their peers? Do you still want to to off notifications?

User: Yes.

ShitGPT: What is your reason for wanting to turn off notifications? Your answer has to be at least 400 words long.

...

ShitGPT: No, the words 'fuck openai' copied 400 times is not a valid answer.

...

ShitGPT: Error Too many requests in 1 hour. Try again later (of course you'll have to start over, tee hee)
