       | As so much of the first-line decision-making moves to LLMs

       | complex output from LLMs - how we can create terse and expressive
       | visual summarisations/interfaces for where humans need to make
       | decisions. But it's a much smaller world.
       | 
       | Where I suspect the wheels are going to come off for some though
       | is that it's far, far easier to create a complex, difficult to
       | understand UI than a simple one. And if simplicity and clarity
       | are what enables effective LLM utilisation attempting to skip all
       | that bothersome UX work will go poorly.
