Summary

  • Geoff Litberg thinks LLMs will soon lead to an era of ‘malleable software’,
  • Where casual users can customize and recombine software to suit their needs,
  • Rather than just making professional software developers more productive.
  • The bottleneck to end-user programming has been in converting informal user desires into code,
  • But LLMs are making that conversion easier, opening up new possibilities.
  • This will lead to changes in when, why and by whom software is made, as well as new interaction models.
  • Today’s post explores how user interaction models might change, including chatbots, hybrid models and open-ended computational media.
