It’s fascinating to think about what true GUI for LLM could be like.

It immediately makes me think a LLM that can generate a customized GUI for the topic at hand where you can interact with in a non-linear way.

Fun demo of an early idea was posted by Oriol just yesterday :)

On one hand, I'm incredibly impressed by the technology behind that demo. On the other hand, I can't think of many things that would piss me off more than a non-deterministic operating system.

I like my tools to be predictable. Google search trying to predict that I want the image or shopping tag based on my query already drives me crazy. If my entire operating system did that, I'm pretty sure I'd throw my computer out a window.

An LLM generating some HTML?

At a speed that feels completely seamless to navigate through. Yeah, I'm pretty impressed by that.

Read the code that is actually being generated. It's only the content of the page, which itself is loaded progressively.

It takes 2 seconds to generate an extremely basic 300 characters page of content. Again, what is impressive here?

It's not fast, it gives the illusion of being fast.

I know what it's doing and I'm impressed. If you understand what it's doing and aren't impressed, that's cool too. I think we just see things differently and I doubt either of us will convince the other one to change their mind on this
