#LLM has habituated modern users to the #text-based #interaction model that once dominated the industry, long ago. I said, awhile back, that #UI designers should seize this narrow window of opportunity and revive the vintage #TUI in its modern reincarnation (Textual, Rich, etc.) and replace the unnecessarily complicated and fragile web UIs (Angular, React, etc.), so as to reduce development and maintenance costs of internal-use-only enterprise applications that are designed for the exclusive use of in-house business experts.

I now go a step further: analytical, exploratory, intelligent text interaction model should be an integral part of all such internal business applications. In this use case, the user would ask the system to explore the data, to analyse the historical trends, and to project the future trends, in natural language using free textual interactions, instead of using the fixed GUI to navigate a massive labyrinth of submenus.

A more intelligent bloke than I would go one more step further still and propose implementing such intelligent TUIs in #Emacs using #ELisp, like we did back in the days of yore.
