> The panel’s consensus: conversation works when it removes a learning curve.

Conversational UIs are controversial but I think there are a good number of websites where a better search could be more centric. Not generating text, but surfacing the most relevant text.

I’m thinking of a lot of library documentation, government info websites, etc. Basically an improvement over deep hierarchical navigation, where their way of organizing info is a leaky abstraction.

Maybe that will be one of the side effects of this AI boom. Who knows.
