I'm trying to figure out how a combination of a touchscreen and generated AI could be a revolutionary new advanced way to interact with software.

It could be a sort of AI-only front end, where rather than interacting with specific apps and files, you simply ask the AI to retrieve information and perform tasks. Frankly, I don't think the technology is there yet, and I'm not sure that it will ever be reliable enough for people to trust it over traditional interfaces.

With the issue of hallucinations. There is no sign of a solution to this problem and it renders much of the potential applications useless. It doesn't matter in art generation, but I would never want to trust it with a life or death decision, or even one that was slightly important.
