The word chat isn't skeuomorphic just because we as developers have our own jargon for interacting with computers. It's not ornamental, it helps non-technical users understand what to do with the system. Is naming the calculator app "Calculator" a skeuomorphism?
They tried completion mode, and it's there with text-davinci-003 in the OpenAI Playground *. Give it a shot. It's the same grade of model as powers ChatGPT, but it's pretty hard to get the same sort of mileage out of it.
Well, maybe you can, but I couldn't. That suggests to me, well for me at least, that the chat interface isn't ornamental and is fundamental for users getting use out of an LLM. I'm not ruling out future improvements to the technology leading to a different interface, but for now, the chat interface to a GPT model seems as fundamental and necessary as folders are on computers.
