My pet theory is that end-user popularity of LLMs comes from two factors in the commercialization of the web:
- The kind of terrible UX designer who perpetrates Apple/Mobile style interfaces with rubrics about how everything has to be visible. Everything has to be ‘a click’. Anyone who has internalized the idea that users shouldn’t be able to set up complex workflows or compound operations.
- The way commercial outfits have intentionally broken their search and metadata so when you try to find a specific thing you end up getting a pile of garbage instead. Users respond by making an LLM do a bunch of searches for them, actually read the pages, and collate the results.
