I agree. I'm waiting for someone to invent a programming language designed for LLMs where for a given partial program p and candidate token t it's possible to tell whether p+t can be the prefix of a correct program or not so that t can be excluded from the LLM's probability distribution at generation time, so the LLM can only generate correct programs. Or something like that.

doesn't this imply it would solve the halting problem?

No, practical programs don't need full Turing completeness. Most programs you want to write you intend to either halt or run indefinitely, because you want to avoid crashes.

Someone steel man the case for users actually wanting to be a UI designer for the application they pay you for.

As a user, most GUIs are awful. I’m fairly certain that this thing could, for example, vibe up a better UI for Amazon Music in less time than it takes me to find the music I’ve purchased and downloaded (because the system is more interested in funneling me toward a streaming subscription that I don’t have).

Of course pushing users toward subscription services they don’t need is part of the design goal. So I guess something where the user vibecodes up their own UI will not become standard. But we can dream.

The goal of generative UI should be to make software more personal while preserving the workflows people already know. Two users might have very different interfaces, but each should have a consistent experience over time.

I can only imagine the troubleshooting and customer support experience. Yet another problem created by “ai” that’s probably only solvable with more “ai”

I understand the skepticism. We hear this often and are working on it. As AI agents become more common in SaaS, these experiences will become more reliable and ready for everyday use.

I've been thinking for a while that something like this could be a solution for the suboptimal UX in the digital assets space.

Imagine a very small LLM embedded into a MetaMask equivalent where you just specify the task you want to do - ie, "I want to send USDT on mainnet", "I want to import the token at address 0x..." - and the wallet assembles the UX for this task for the human to execute.

yep, this is usecases we are trying to solve. Current model fits in consumer hardware. Hopefully we can fit this into a phone soon.

Do you hate the designer changed the UI of your favorite app so you have to relearn it every three months? Congrats! Now you need to relearn it every time you open the app.

Chat Ui killed the GUI star. language is The ultimate UI. I guess you still need graphs (mainly so you can have dramatic moments in movies), but that's it

love that song! Not every interaction would be conversational, that's why we spent more than 50 years building GUI

this exactly the future we are working towards as well. You should checkout AppLess http://github.com/thesysdev/appless

Great link, I haven't seen that before. I saw someone at Microsoft make an "OS" that was just copilot chats per-window, generating the HTML. I recreated it and it's not great, but it's a fun toy that _feels_ transformative, unlike almost every AI product ever made besides the fundamental chat interface. To take this a step further: https://chatjimmy.ai/ Imagine AppLess running a model as good as qwen at 20,000 tok/se…

Exciting times indeed

The term "Generative UI" refers to a front-end design approach where an AI model dynamically builds a UI in real time instead of relying on static, hard-coded templates.

This just seems incredibly wasteful. What value does that add?

Similar to how AI assitants give you answer directly instead of making you search through walls of text. Generative UI builds the right interface based on the context and intent of the user.

I think there is a big misunderstanding in the space around what Gen UI is and what its used for. Lots of folks refer to it as a framework for building web apps - its not. Gen UI is a DSL for LLM to build UIs on the fly in a multi turn converstation - those are - throw away, one off interfaces or visualization. The reason for the DSL is pragmatism - standardisation and token savings.

The html/css/js or a react app built by an LLM is not Gen UI.
