“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

Yeah, I absolutely hate talking to devices, it's inefficient and frustrating. Why would I want that as the primary interface to my computer?

Complex UX should be solved in two ways:

  • simplify common operations - i.e. build widgets for weather, news, etc; the more open the system, the easier it is to offload this to the community
  • improve docs to educate users on power-user functionality

If I'm asking an AI tool how to do something with your product, you need to fix your product.
