One recent case in point: Google Finance redesign. How anyone signed that off, especially senior engineers supposedly behind it is beyond me. Basic functionality like sorting by column is gone. To add/remove positions you have to talk to the chat box which is very slow and unreliable. No way to just add 200 shares of company X anymore. News/calendar displayed is no longer relevant to your watchlists. Layout is terrible with unremovable AI chatbox and graph that doesn't work (shows wrong amounts) take big part of the screen.

If anything it shows that people exposed to LLMs for the longest lost the most IQ. Googlers had access to Bart preview before LLMs were public so that checks out. I just hope those people don't get to redesign other tools as otherwise we will all need to talk to the chat box to use a calculator or a spreadsheet soon.
