Instagram users prefer Meta's Muse AI interface, hinting at a design opportunity beyond v1 UI

David Pawlan observes that much of Instagram's audience prefers Meta's Muse visual interface for its AI assistant over iMessage. He argues Muse is only a "v1 UI" for the most powerful capability invented since ChatGPT, and someone will build a more opinionated design counter-positioned against it. Follow-up discussion adds that "prompt paralysis" — not knowing what to ask — is a key adoption barrier for non-AI natives, which visual interfaces help solve, and that Meta's ownership of Instagram may bias the algorithms toward its own UX surface.
