One of the most interesting aspects is when LLMs are cheap and small enough so that apps can ship with a builtin one so that it can adjust code for each user based on input/usage patterns.
Let's keep that kind of regulation to pursuits like flying helicopters, not using computers.
I don't see a bunch of small agents in the future, instead just one per device or user. Maybe there will be a fleeting moment for GUI/local apps to tie into some local, OS LLM library (or some kind of WebLLM spec) to leverage this local agent in your app.
Will we stop using web browsers as we understand them today in the next few decades in favor of only interacting with agents? Maybe.
sort of how the hammer is the most useful tool ever and all we have to do is to make every thing that needs doing look like a nail.
These are valid points, taken to the extreme we will have apps that cannot be supported.
In short term, we already have SQL/reports being automated. Lovable etc is experimenting with generating user interfaces from prompts, soon we will have complete working apps from a prompt. Why not have one core that you can expand via a prompt?
I am currently studying and depending heavily on Anki, its been amazing to use Claude Code to add new functionality on the fly. Its a holy mess of inconsistent/broken UX but it so clearly gives me value over the core version. Sometimes it breaks, but CC can usually fix it within a prompt or two.
Me too, and I see this as _incredibly_ wasteful.
