Does AI have a UI/UX problem?

A Twitter user asks whether artificial intelligence has a user interface and user experience problem, suggesting that despite AI's advanced capabilities, its usability and design may be hindering adoption and effectiveness for everyday users.

Background

- The post asks whether AI suffers from a UI/UX (User Interface / User Experience) problem — meaning whether the way people interact with AI systems is confusing, unintuitive, or poorly designed. - This is a common criticism of early generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney): users must craft careful text "prompts" rather than using familiar buttons, sliders, or menus. Many find this invisible, trial-and-error interaction frustrating. - The tweet touches on a broader debate in tech: should AI adapt to human interaction patterns (visual, conversational, gesture-based), or must humans learn to "speak AI" through prompt engineering? - Binoy Perera is a tech commentator who frequently posts about design, UX, and product strategy.
