alt Hacker NewsFeels like collectively we are under indexing on LLMs as user interfaces. I use a CLI with an agent to things I once did in a GUI. Your neighbors should never have to worry about zip files again.

having to write "hey LLM-du-jour please unpack these files!" os strictly less efficient/more time consuming than clicking "extract" on a menu. I have hard time what usecase you have in your mind. (Unless the user is blind that is)

I'm sorry but if somebody born in the 1980s cannot or will not double click on a zip file to open it they also cannot or will not ask Claude to open it for them.

Exactly!
I said it two years ago already: An LLM is the perfect user interface.
The problem though: It will make it a lot easier to do harder things which will devaluate jobs.
