AI Will Replace UI — and It's More Radical Than It Seems

In the future, we will simply set tasks for agents, and everything will happen by itself. AI will replace traditional interfaces.

Today we still open websites, click buttons, and search for what we need in interfaces that have been created over decades. It's like the old days: to make a call, you had to go to the post office, wait in line, and ask the operator to manually connect the wires to establish contact.

In the future, all of this will disappear. A person will simply set a task for the agent — “Find a hotel in Berlin for tomorrow,” and everything will happen by itself. No clicks, no screens.

AI will interact directly with systems through machine interfaces (like MCP), bypassing traditional UIs. Buttons, forms, applications — they will fade away like the telegraph. The real revolution will not happen in interface design, but in the fact that they will no longer be needed.
