The military’s been looking for the holy grail of natural language command and control since the 1950s (Noam Chomsky’s linguistics work was funded by the DoD for exactly this reason). Hasn’t happened yet, but maybe we’re finally onto something with “Don’t besiege Moscow, take it immediately, make no mistakes.”

Natural language control is a fantasy that no serious UI designer believes is inherently powerful. No serious software engineer thinks natural language programming would be superior. Part of the essential job of the UI is to inform what the intuition should be for the human user and to emphasize important parts clearly in the design language. Rarely does natural language control enable that in a transformative way.
