This is one reason I increasingly think the future of software may become conversational without necessarily becoming autonomous. The two ideas are related. But they’re not the same thing.
There’s enormous value in reducing the natural friction between human expression and machine discipline. Large language models may ultimately prove most transformative not when they replace deterministic systems, but when they help people interact with those systems more naturally.
For decades, people have adapted to computers. It now seems possible that software may finally start adapting to people instead.
