I really believe this is the future.

Conversations are error prone and noisy.

UI distills down the mode of interaction into something defined and well understood by both parties.

Humans have been able to speak to each other for a long time, but we fill out forms for anything formal.

I thought you'd say not being able to reload the form at a later time from the same URL is bad. This would be a "quantum UI" slightly different every time you load it.

I think that there will be ways to achieve this.

If you look at many of the current innovations around working with llms and agents, they are largely around constraining and tracking context in a structured way. There will likely be emergent patterns for these sorts of things over time, I am implementing my own approach for now with hopefully good abstractions to allow future portability.
