Even open-ended digital interfaces have input validation + confirmation of errors. But LLMs have anti-UI.
Users are encouraged to ask everything, including what LLMs can’t do, then must validate. Every part of this UX offloads work on to the user, engineers, annotators to prop up the mind illusion.

The defining feature of LLMs is that they’re a structured “dark pattern” meant to launder the idea that a mind’s on the other side.

Congrats, and thanks for all you do. You're pretty much carrying weight for a media class that's fallen asleep at the wheel. Cheers, and here's to hoping we all wake up in '26.
