Sure, machines don't need visualization (although it seems that images are a surprisingly good medium to get context into agents), but humans still do. Mathematicians have plotted functions for a long time now. While the pure truth lies in the definition of f(x), the visualization helps the mind to grasp what it actually is. Humans will run companies for the foreseeable future, and so we will need visualization for the foreseeable future
Humans steer the ship. The wind and sea do the work. How we harness is what is changing.
Actually I think they do. Visualizations are a form of compression and focus.
All of my ai-driven plans use a tool I built to rasterize all text based visualizations. And I make the model present the rendered version to a clean room agent for brief-back. They go in circles until the diagram is good. Then, I instruct planning tools to always look at both the text and rendered version of all diagrams. I have found it to be surprisingly powerful.
