Some disruptive technologies have a larger frontier of best practices to explore.

Those larger frontiers take time to search through and find the best pockets.

For example, many of the most durable UX patterns on mobile phones were included in the very first iPhone keynote.

That implies a relatively small surface area to explore.

An easy environment with stable patterns.

But AI seems to have wider territory that is harder to explore.

A tell for how big this space is: how long do the people at the frontier continue to be surprised by best practices that are discovered.

By that measure, LLM is a broad disruptive innovation!
