Why LLM chat feels like an anti-pattern in 2026

A continuation of my previous article, What is better than your AI loop?, which introduced the blackboard architecture this post builds on.

The chat. The message-response chain you produce by typing with an LLM. It could be trivially implemented by a single growing context or a sliding window.

Why does it feel like an anti-pattern to me? Chat as a UI is fine, chat as a world model is not.

What is better than your AI loop?

There is a continuation of this article, Why LLM chat feels like an anti-pattern in 2026?, which shows the blackboard architecture in action.

A blackboard architecture, modernized with event sourcing, content-addressed knowledge source (KS) firing and a few more enhancements.

While working on improvements to various LLM-powered components and subsystems over the past year, I noticed I kept converging on the same architecture — one that, as I later found out, had been described and named four decades ago.

Why Success Favors Action and How This Relates to AI

It’s been over a year since I published my view on the state of AI/LLMs and how it could be significantly improved in my post: “Failure Is Not An Option For AI”. While scrolling through the rStar2-Agent technical report, I couldn’t help but mumble to myself: “I told you so!”.

Consider how quickly the model improved during training, especially given that we are comparing a 14B parameter model to 671B R1.

Failure Is Not An Option For AI (And It Shouldn't Be)

My intent is to write a series of practical posts related to AI and programming. Topics like running local LLMs with agent frameworks, automated source code manipulation, execution under docker and more. All with the use of .Net and C#, Elastic Search, AWS and more.

I realized that I would like to first express my view about more fundamental, theoretical and even philosophical aspects of LLM/AI first. Therefore this post does not require any programming skills.
