41. UI or User Interface
Wed Oct 18, 2023, 11:41 PM
Oct 2023

for things like the web, often called a GUI or Graphical User Interface.

And DU will likely use AI... because AI is cheaper and more efficient than writing your own software.

For those afraid of AI... well, people have been afraid of many new technologies in the past... hasn't prevented a single one of them from being adopted in the past. Sometimes the use is much more limited to certain things (there were proposals for nuclear powered cars and planes), sometimes the use morphs past anything the inventors imagined ( this here Internet is one such example ).

doesn't mean that AI will be universally good. Just like the Internet has not been universally good. Or nuclear power, or even most technology inventions ( coal power, oil, etc may actually kill the planet for US, but the planet will survive, just without humans ).
