English becomes the interface: AI built a dress its creator never could
Yana Welinder asked AI to operate CAD software she'd never learned, and it turned her sculpture-inspired vision into a dress that was "previously unmanufacturable." Tom Tunguz reads this as the end of software's expertise tax: English is becoming the universal API, translating intent into the grammar of accounts, orders, and splines. The consequence is an inversion of product design. PMs stop designing every screen and start building the harness that lets agents act safely, and documentation becomes the product.
