AI and UI
I have a problem.
I believe that AI algorithms for predicting my behaviour within user interfaces (specifically for my interaction with the interface: think resizing windows, positioning on screen, tab selection, etc.) are usually quite dumb. Maybe that’s because they aren’t really AI routines to begin with, but dumb rudimentary logic some programmer was told to code in. This is useless. I don’t think my behaviour is really all that unpredictable anyway.
However, at the same time, it drives me crazy that Windows doesn’t know how to size file explorer dialogues to my liking. My folder preview pane width should be proportional to the depth of the file tree. And the detailed file view of the current directory need not be so wide to consume space that will not be used. This is especially annoying when the columns of the detailed list view end before while the window width continues. This is dumb. Fix it. But fix it right.
