If natural language is a compile target now like assembly or JavaScript the new high level language we’ll all speak at the Python or react level, comprising prompts and summaries needs a name. I propose “Indirectish”

The indirection will need to add value of course. Me to wife via bot: let’s get Thai food for lunch soon, somewhere nearby Wife actually sees: let’s get lunch at soraiya on Wednesday Bot invisibly finds a place and time… trivial example but you get the pattern. Talk through AI instead of to AIs.

In indirectese it will be impossible to say lmgtfy because the bot will intercept and answer on your behalf. Also Google will be dead by the time this tech appears

AIs as pass-through entities. H2H comms augmenter. Thought provoked by noticing people experimenting almost as much with summarizing, transposition, and eli5 functions as raw generation and invention. It’s like VR vs AR. Look at vs look through.

That sounds like an epic misunderstanding amplifier. As it is you already can never be quite certain whether what you said is what was heard. With inderectese layer you would also have no clue what you said.
