The fundamental idea of this paper is for ChatGPT-like apps to lose natural language for less energy consumption and more determinism in their answers based on controlled natural languages like ACE; for the user to be able to modify this trade-off-ratio at will based on LLMs (which is not possible when starting from a ChatGPT-like app); and to capture this new paradigm in a new type of browser that has natural language as its primary interface, here called a semantic web-first browser.
the main issue here is still one of use case. this is a text-interface for the semantic web, but the semantic web is built to be easily parsed so you wouldn’t need a specific interface. llms, meanwhile, are data transformers, which you don’t want loose on strict content because the integrity can no longer be guaranteed. so what are you left with?
also, if you think this can be used on government code you might need to adjust your expectations.
