The author explores the idea of treating AI as a tool instead of a person, focusing on technical capabilities and interaction design in the age of large models. The metaphor of model-as-computer is proposed, allowing for efficient and real-time interaction with AI. This approach challenges the current model-as-person interaction, suggesting that AI can be a powerful computing environment. The generative UI concept is introduced, envisioning a new paradigm in computing where models create bespoke applications for users. While still in the experimental stage, the potential for generative UI to revolutionize the way we interact with computers is highlighted, raising questions about its future applications and implications.
