Why Is Everyone Obsessed With Chat Interfaces?
I've been thinking a lot about this: why does every app, tool, and platform seem to be adding a chat interface? I get it — chat is powerful. You can freely ask for something and get results fast. But as an interface designer, I can't help but feel that products are forgetting an important lesson. It's like we're just slapping a chat box onto everything and calling it a day. And honestly, that feels off.
