That's the billion dollar question. Whoever figures that out and builds it will be the next Microsoft/Google/Apple/...
Microsoft, Adobe and a lot of other companies are starting to patch some AI features into their apps, but the thing that makes ChatGPT so interesting is that it is universal, it can generate code, cooking recipes and write short stories and it can do all of that at once. Having an AI be stuck in a single app feels limited compared to that. But at the same time ChatGPT itself is locked in its own little text-window, which is limiting it as well. ChatGPT-style AI that can operate like a full OS, that would be the holly grail and I am sure plenty of companies are working on something like that.
Not sure about blog, but here are a couple of random vaguely related books and videos on the topic:
I find the older stuff especially interesting as it has a more clean-slate approach to interface design and isn't stuck in modern conventions.
