Natural language is the new OS

Language models are a trojan horse for a new type of software.

Natural language is becoming the new operating system, humanity’s native interface. Generative AI redefines software from a fixed tool to a dynamic collaborator.

Why it matters: The long-term shift isn’t AI replacing humans, it’s replacing traditional software. AI UX is the most significant design shift since the GUI. Rigid UX conventions like brittle menu structures will feel outdated. When interfaces adapt to us, those that don’t will be left behind.
