Yelling “it’s 95% there, we’re so cooked” when anyone can be 95% there for any field since Google was invented doesn’t show much.
Anyway, I dispute that there's "zero switching" costs to go from proprietary keyboard shortcuts to english sentences as the interface.
In the bloomberg example, the shortcuts are precise. LLM's responses are not always what you want.
Imagine being a vim or emacs user and have those replaced by something you have to type entire sentences for functionality.
"Public Data Access → Commoditized"
Also, no. Today I tried to have gemini pro give me some data from wikipedia for a list of countries that I supplied. It gave me data and source links, but the numbers were all wrong! I would have zero confidence in this for anything serious.
The overall index has been pretty well flat. What sectors gained?
And surely there aren't 140 "software and services" companies in the top 500 by market cap?

But replacing Bloomberg terminals with "Chat with NYSE", that is no exaggeration one of the most out of touch ideas I think I have ever heard in my life!
