Silly.
Yes, there will be human language interfaces to existing APIs.
But: The APIs themselves will still be in their own “non natural” language. Precisely because such a technical language defines boundaries.
Even the author, in his example, admits to using AWS’ “terminology”.
And that’s the point: In order to use an API, you must understand its basic concepts and limitations.
The new “plug-ins” that OpenAI announced are proving this point. They are precisely the glue between the gooey human language understanding of ChatGPT and the prickly language of an API (to use some Alan Watts terminology).
