I think/hope that ChatGPT will force users to come up with better UI for their programs (including their CLI programs). If it is easy to tell ChatGPT to run ffmpeg than running it yourself then ffmpeg's UI is not optimal. As we have already realised in other industries (e.g. in the auto industry) is that text-based or voice-based input is clearly less efficient (worse?) than a good UI. If your UI is worse than free text, then time to improve it.

The difference is that the voice UI didn't require training and is available to everyone, immediately. Efficient UIs are awesome, but generally require some familiarity. A natural language voice interface is ubiquitous.
