A New Paradigm for AI Interaction: Models as Computers
This article explores the future of AI interaction, proposing a new paradigm: treating large language models (LLMs) as 'computer applications' instead of 'people'. The author argues that the current anthropomorphic approach is inefficient and limits the potential of LLMs. He suggests that LLMs should generate graphical interfaces, not just text conversations, to improve efficiency and discoverability, allowing users direct manipulation like with typical applications. This 'model-as-computer' paradigm will transform human-computer interaction and lead to novel experiences, such as dynamically generating interfaces tailored to user needs, potentially even replacing operating systems. The article cites existing technological prototypes and looks towards future developments.
