Yes I agree.
My guess is that the console is a much better and natural UI because it goes in one direction and is less confusing and productive for humans.
In the end we seems to move back to it through the chatbot paradigm, because it is in the end a console...
It's an interesting trend. With the push for chatbot-based interactions, CLIs and plain text representations are making a bit of a comeback, since LLMs interface with those more easily than UIs.
We saw this in the early days of chat tools like Slack, too. /remind anybody? Today you, at least, get a floating help text if not a mini-GUI within the channel once you begin to invoke.
So I'd wager we will see the same with chatbot interfaces. I furthermore predict that we will get taylor-made AI applications with a GUI that triggers specific "prompts" on unspecified datasets. "Prompt engineering" will become just another skill of professionals that have to use general purpose tools to built specific purpose tools... again.
