Products with extensive/rich UIs lots of sliders, switches, menus, with no scripting support, and built on opaque, custom, binary formats are ngmi in the era of heavy human+AI collaboration. If an LLM can't read the underlying representations and manipulate them and all of the related settings via scripting, then it also can't co-pilot your product with existing professionals and it doesn't allow vibe coding for the 100X more aspiring prosumers. Example high risk (binary objects/artifacts, no text DSL): every Adobe product, DAWs, CAD/3D Example medium-high risk (already partially text scriptable): Blender, Unity Example medium-low risk (mostly but not entirely text already, some automation/plugins ecosystem): Excel Example low risk (already just all text, lucky!): IDEs like VS Code, Figma, Jupyter, Obsidian, ... AIs will get better and better at human UIUX (Operator and friends), but I suspect the products that attempt to exclusively wait for this future without trying to meet the technology halfway where it is today are not going to have a good time.
