Right but at the very least we can strive for consistency and efficiency, if only to save cost and energy. ChatGPT may save time, but not energy or money, assuming your idea is to just totally rely on LLM's for data processing (which is why it "doesn't matter" for you anymore). If somehow magically from the beginning of computing we had a natural language interface to a computer's operations, we would still have arrived at particular standards/specs for data formats. There would still be something like xml/json/csv. Indeed, I'd wager there would still at a certain point be some kind of high level programming (or otherwise formal) language adopted, to answer the particular clumsiness of natural language itself [1]. Putting aside any issues of reliability, its simply not sustainable (economically, environmentally) to put all our work into this stuff. Even if it does shine with one off stuff like this. 1. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD06xx/EWD667.html https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD06xx/EWD667...
