I've learned that compared to APIs, human interfaces are slow and messy, but there is actually a lot of science behind them. The good apps expose information well, and are optimised for clicks, typing, etc.

The best GUIs make great use of muscle memory, which makes them perfect candidates for scripting via CLI. eg a simple sequence "open Notes app, hit Cmd+F, enter search term, read list of results" can be one Bash command invoked by AI agent.
