I think "prompting" is just a temporary crutch on the way to natural language interfaces. In essence, ChatGPT solves a big portion of the prompting problem, and this natural language interaction is, above all, responsible for its wide accessibility and popularity. Technically, you could create a ChatGPT-type system based on GPT-3 but this was limited to experts and not easily scalable. Prompting as an engineering discipline is not here to stay.
