Flutterby™! : OUI

I'm reading Medium: UX Collective: The rise of the Orchestrated User Interface (OUI). It's paywalled, I don't particularly think it's worth clicking through, but I find this interesting:

In the OUI era, we must now become gardeners.

We plant the seeds (user goals), set the boundaries (guardrails), and nurture the system as it grows (reinforcement learning). We are designing systems that learn from the user, becoming more accurate and personalized over time.

Because all I can think of is the Spanish speaking guy with the old beater pickup truck, bed filled with assorted tools, doing my neighbor's landscaping... Or, maybe, we can aspire to be the Oliver Mellors of the situation...

Also see that previous entry about using LLMs for analysis reinforcing cultural stereotypes, I suspect that the systems are shaping the user far more than learning from the users.
