And this is why I can't get behind LLMs as a universal GUI replacement. Not in their current form. We know that users are increasingly likely to leave a page as load time increases. Now what happens when you have an unpredictable black box that sometimes doesn't do what the user expects, or flat out refuses to cooperate? This is poor UX for many tasks.

I can see LLMs being a better interface for the command line. Where I can just say "give me the ffmpeg command to flip a video upside down" ChatGPT gave me "ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "vflip" output.mp4" and then explained what each part of the command does. I searched on google and the results were all for random tools when I specified ffmpeg, and the ones that were correct had complex walls of text, adverts everywhere, and other bloat.

  My first non-ad result on Google for "ffmpeg flip video upside-down" was [0], which includes both that and several other options including rotating 180 degrees (a different way of getting upside-down). Knowing more precisely that rotation isn't what I want, googling for "ffmpeg vertical flip video" sends me to [1] in the very first result, which is the same as what you got. Except it also specifies copying the audio without reencoding it, I'm not sure what your version would do without including that.

    The first link has the entire "above the fold" content as useless bloat including ironically a huge block about SO closing the question as off topic. There is some good content in there if you dig though. The second one has a huge number of annoying popups all over the page (4 visible with adblock enabled). The ChatGPT one just leads with the answer and explains it after. It's a non destructive command so if I later decide I also want audio, I can just continue the conversation and ask for audio to be included.
