The article examines the popularity of chatbots in leveraging large language models (LLMs), particularly highlighting how conversational formats became the standard interface. While chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT provide an intuitive user experience, the article argues they create problems for developers who over-rely on this interface. It suggests that applications like personalized recommendation engines and business intelligence dashboards demonstrate that many functions could be better served by alternative interfaces, leading to enhanced efficiency and usability beyond chat interactions.
Chatbots gained prominence due to early LLM services leveraging conversational formats, creating a perception that chat-based interactions are the most effective way to engage with LLM capabilities.
While chat interfaces are intuitive for some tasks, many scenarios benefit from alternative interfaces, such as dashboards or apps, which can streamline user experiences significantly.
