alt Hacker NewsMy point is: such apps wouldn’t need to exist if agents can provide in the future the same functionality for a fraction of the cost. Sure if ticketmaster is here to stay forever and keep their app up to date, we can keep using it. But what about new products? Would companies decide to build a single fixed app that all the users have to use, instead of, well, not building it? Sure the functionality would still need to be provided by the company (e.g., like offered in the form of an api), so they keep getting profit.
It’s like we usually say: companies should focus on their core value. And typically the ui/ux is not the core value of companies.

Huh? The user experience is basically ALL of the core product of a company.
If it's so easy for an AI to create ticket purchasing software that people can generate it themselves, then it's also true that the company can also use AI to generate that software for users who then don't need to generate it themselves. Obviously I think neither of these things are true or likely to happen.
So we burn the planet up to deploy individually craft UIs on demand? I mean, I've read your comment three times, and I just don't see it. If we end up in that future, we're doomed.
