I didn't spot any of the weirdpunk machinery from Wings of Honneamise:

Or Golden Boy's computer made out of paper: https://youtu.be/A1R1Du2PsZ4?t=610
Or its Japanese-phonetically-respelled SunOS rc script: https://youtu.be/A1R1Du2PsZ4?t=1196
Or any of the computer bits in that episoder really. By the way don't watch Golden Boy if there are any people who are not, uh, extremely cultured around.

Later in life I would think of it as being inspired by the UK's SAGE defense system, even though it probably wasn't. You can't exactly see from the image, but the screen is a glass dome:

What these anime-futuristic designs have in common are an abundance of information and controls. They're clearly inspired by the equipment that was contemporary to the art at that time (construction, military, etc.)
The consumer interfaces we have today were dumbed down due to low computer literacy and the resulting low trust in consumers to not shoot themselves in the foot, but even Apple eventually had to dumb it down less with each new iPhone.
"AI" seems to be the breaking point for the user hostility, but it also opens up new opportunities for a lot more information to clutter a dashboard. It can't automate things reliably, but it can make information more accessible, so we'll see what's next.
It's the same thing with cars: a lot of people not knowing how to maintain their cars is the result, not cause, of car designs and machinery becoming more durable and more idiot-proof.

The tablet itself: Other than the screen and APU being good, it is a heavily stripped down tablet missing a lot of the features that other tablets in its price range or even cheap tablets will have. No haptics, biometrics, and so on. It is very focused on the screen interaction experience and that is basically it.
Cockpit images are interesting in an input context because there are buttons and switches surrounding the user.
Love to see the dizzying array of ways people imagined data can be shown. Everything these days feels so flat. Appreciate the share.
The opening is worth a watch if you have a minute 12. Airwolf flashing blueprint feel, although soundtrack wasn't as good. Lotta weird little easter eggs if you can pause while the text is shown.
Not that there isn't animation in it, but... the animation was projected onto a large screen and then that screen with other things around it was filmed.
The acronym 'UI' as typically used in computing often refers to specific types of user interfaces. That is not how TFA uses more generally 'User Interfaces', which practically covers anything that exposes information to or receives information from users
