It’s like teaching a robot to use a touchscreen by having it grow a giant robotic finger that smudges the screen just like a human. Sure, it could directly access the data it needs, but no, it’s swiping, pinching to zoom, and occasionally fat-fingering the wrong app like your grandma.

Now, we’ve come full circle. We built GUIs for humans to talk to machines, and now we’re building machines to learn our GUIs so they can talk to each other. It’s like teaching a cheetah to walk on two legs because that’s how humans designed sidewalks. But I understand this is temporary.

The most efficient AI isn’t going to click “Save As” or drag files into folders. It’ll skip the whole circus and just grab the data directly from the source, laughing at our graphical middlemen.

We’ve essentially turned these highly advanced systems into overqualified office interns, fumbling with our GUIs when they could’ve bypassed the whole interface and solved the problem in milliseconds. When these machines start expressing emotions, they would be screaming in agonising pain.

So..what's next? We created self-driving cars, but instead of directly controlling the engine, we'd be teaching them to steer using robotic hands on a steering wheel and pressing the gas pedal with a mechanical foot. “We could talk to the car’s internal systems, but no, let’s just copy Steve’s clunky driving instead!”
