Wow, that’s impressive! I’ll give it a try on a project I’m spinning up.

I've been struggling to understand the hype as well.

I think the excitement is more around seeing how MCP is being embraced, and the impact it can have. Rather than me having to wire up a bunch of tools by hand, I can now point to some configuration files and MCP servers.

I think it's fair for people to be excited, but ultimately, yes, your prediction is correct, and it won't be as exciting after MCP becomes a standard. This is similar to any new technology. e.g. years ago, Go programs and literature were popular on this site, but not so much any more.

I find the prospect of NLI to be much simpler and ubiquitous, especially when factoring in voice communication.

"Hey Siri, what's my credit card balance?"

"Your current credit card balance is 40.32"

"Pay the full balance on my credit card using my checking account"

That flow seems much simpler. It's also hands free.

I think it'll likely end up being voice commands, and typing is just an interim solution. For instance, the ChatGPT iOS app which was just released has voice to text.

While not perfect at the moment, huge strides are being made. There's a noticeable improvement in ChatGPT-4's ability to understand intent. Asking to "Pay 300 towards my credit card from my checking account" isn't a very complex ask, and is unlikely to be misunderstood. It's also much simpler than navigating through 6 traditional UI screens.

Confirmations will obviously be a requirement, just like they are in traditional UIs.

There’s a tedious, time consuming task, we all dread doing, but yet are compelled to do several times a month: interact with our bank’s UI.

Regardless of the convenience of mobile over web, it is still a multiple step process that requires several presses/clicks, screen loading icons, scrolling up and down the page, getting bombarded with calls to action, promotions, etc.

As we gaze into the future of digital banking, it’s clear that the next logical step is to incorporate functionalities such as trading stocks, dabbling in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and even applying for loans, all within the same natural language interface.

Not saying that there aren't real issues, but remember, news makes money off of getting you to constantly engage, so they are financially motivated to sensationalize.

Consuming more content isn't going to have an impact on layoffs, Ukraine, recession, etc.

What it will have an impact on is your mental health, as you are experiencing now.

Things that have worked for me:

- Get out into nature as often as possible. Trees and streams have been shown to reduce stress.

- Meditate

- Do physical activities, like lifting weights, yoga, and hiking.

- Pick up a hobby.

- Have dedicated blocks of times to not checking work messages, news, etc.

Constantly checking the news is unlikely to end the conflict or deescalate things :) Not saying that there aren't real issues, but remember, news makes money off of getting you to constantly engage, so they are financially motivated to sensationalize.
