It would help the discussion if you gave examples.
TUIs have always existed, and most always had these problems. Is there any particular TUI that exists which doesn't allow for automation/composability and for which there are no good CLI alternatives?

AI coding agents made the terminal the primary surface again, and the tooling to build good TUIs finally got good at the same time
But why exactly are AI agents using the terminal? Can't they use accessibility tools to read GUIs?
