Geoffrey Litt critiques the "copilot" metaphor for AI design, citing a 1992 Mark Weiser talk, and argues instead that AI interfaces should be designed as HUDs (heads-up displays) — ambient overlays rather than directive partners.

Anchors a current interface-design debate in a 33-year-old critique, offering a concrete alternative metaphor worth weighing when building agent tools.
