> People like communicating in natural language

It does puzzle me a little that there isn't more widespread acclaim of this, achieving a natural-language UI has been a failed dream of CS for decades and now we can just take it for granted.

LLMs may or may not be the greatest thing for coding, writing, researching, or whatever, but this UX is a keeper. Being able to really use language to express a problem, have recourse to abbreviations, slang, and tone, and have it all get through is amazing, and amazingly useful.
