I continue to expect that I will prefer to control my computer with formal grammars—I have spent significant time using caster speech recognition with dragon, and I’m sure I’ll keep doing so with openai whisper. nobody has ever beaten the CLI and nobody ever will [edit: to clarify, I believe it is a weakness of current ai that it struggles to take formal grammar seriously].
now, if an AI could automatically generate interfaces that standardize messy UIs into coherent formal grammars that fit comfortably in a CLI workflow, that would be amazing...
also, I want a CLI that shows me what commands are available at any step.
yeah, eventually keyboard clis will be beaten, but even with whisper I expect to sometimes prefer keyboard. it’s just that hard to beat CLIs.
