Ekuyda argues against the prevailing belief that all interfaces will become chat-based. She points out that chat is poor for discovery, repetitive use cases, and multiplayer scenarios. Users generally prefer GUIs for passive consumption and tapping over typing, and voice interfaces are limited to private settings. She advocates for building Mac-like GUI experiences rather than reverting to MS-DOS style. Naval counters that eventually, all UI will be chat and gestures in, with video out.
