Part 8/13:
Tracing back the evolution of interfaces—from code-based software interaction to recommendation systems, to voice assistants—Kore notes that these snippets of AI are gradually merging into more integrated, invisible helpers. He predicts that interfaces will become so unobtrusive that they’ll be almost entirely transparent, allowing users to focus solely on their tasks.
He draws an analogy with science fiction: devices like the communicator from Star Trek, the Babel fish from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and the Palantír from Lord of the Rings—interfaces that transcend physical devices and become intuitive, cultural, or even biological extensions.
