AI UX Design: ChatGPT Interfaces Are Already Obsolete

Allen Pike on Post-Chat AI Design #VancouverAI ------------------- What if chat was just the training wheels? In this keynote from Vancouver AI Meetup #16, Allen Pike (Forestwalk Labs) maps the shift from chatbot gimmicks to context-native interfaces — ones that know what you're doing, not just what you're typing. “The goal isn’t a smarter textbox. It’s software that does the next obvious thing.” — Allen Pike From whisper-interfaces to right-click rituals, Allen charts the evolution of human-computer collaboration beyond command lines and scrolling chatlogs. The future of interaction isn't chat. It's intent. “We’re not just shipping code anymore. We’re sculpting cognitive pathways.” — KK Topics hit with clarity and grit: Search that thinks like you do Interfaces that generate themselves Critique agents embedded in your writing Ambient AI that waits, watches, and nudges A possible end to the tyranny of dropdowns This is for designers, devs, and toolmakers who know the interface is the ideology. “If we’re still clicking buttons in five years, we blew it.” — Allen Pike Filmed at the Vancouver AI Meetup — part underground salon, part prototype future.
