it is a case of "those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

Microsoft already tried this in office when they made the menu order change with usage frequency. People hated it

"Your thumbs will learn" is a famous Steve Jobs quote from the 2007 iPhone launch.

Only if the buttons on the iPhone aren't constantly being rearranged by a chatbot. Then they'll never learn.

the whole point of this is that the buttons keep moving so your fingers can't learn. When steve jobs said it, he thought about it first and was talking about something different

I'll be honest, I don't remember this.

I'm suggesting you don't generally need menus. The pattern is closer to search like Apple Spotlight or Chrome New Tab... I think most people do that now instead of bookmarks or clicking through menus? Am I wrong?
