He mentions this as bad example of UX: "search web history for a doc about atlas core design"
I have opposite view. I think text (and speech) is actually pretty good interface, as long as the machine is intelligent enough (and modern LLMs are).

I've once saw a demo of an AI photo editing app that displays sliders next to light sources on a photo and you are able to dim/brighten the individual light sources intensity this way. This feels to me like a next level of the user interface.
1. There's a "normal" interface or query-language for searching.
2. The LLM suggests a query, based on what you said you wanted in English, possibly in conjunction with results of a prior submit.
3. The true query is not hidden from the user, but is made available so that humans can notice errors, fix deficiencies, and naturally--if they use it enough--learn how it works so that the LLM is no longer required.
For example, "Find me all pictures since Tuesday with pets" might become:
type:picture after:2025-10-08 fuzzy-content:"with pets"
Description: "black dog catching a frisbee"
Does that "with pets"?
Answer Yes or No.
Yes.
