I'm introducing the term Friendly User Interface to complement Friendly AI as a possible area of interest for the LessWrong community.

Speaking only to this. Every new piece of jargon comes with -100 points. Does the usefulness of this term overcome -100 points?

Perhaps I overemphasized the "term introduction". Since the first two comments seem to be questioning whether this term and grouping of ideas should exist at all, now I'm wishing I could go back and frame the post as, "Is anyone here thinking about these kind of things?" Once the activity and attention of the community is better resolved, I could re-examine whether any part of it is worth promoting or rebranding.

In fact, I'm just going to edit out that bit to de-emphasize the term itself.
