/ui/ - UI/UX Lab

everyone is JUST letting generative agents decide the flow now. we used to spend weeks mapping out complex user journeys and defining clear decision trees. now, the trend is moving toward a single text prompt that triggers an autonomous workflow. it feels like we are designing interfaces just creating skins for LLM outputs. the concept of a consistent navigation menu is becoming entirely obsolete because the agent handles the logic behind the scenes.
>the user doesn't need to know where they are, only what they want done.
this shift is stripping away the agency that defines good ux. if there is no structure to explore, there is no real experience to inhabit. we are essentially building fancy chat bubbles with buttons . i fear we are losing the ability to guide users through discovery-based learning. instead of crafting intuitive paths, we are just waiting for the model to guess the next step correctly.
