> Chat gpt 4 turbo is pretty nice but the UI/UX is clumsy.

Strong disagree. ChatGPT is the only UI/UX that I find usable (great, no. Better than the rest, by miles). Bing and Google are damned clunky.

It's also easy to make you own interface with via the API.

It's a generic chat prompt. And as chat prompts go, it's pretty middle of the road; nothing special. No offense, but I've seen some teams knock mvps out for chat bot UIs a few years ago and it's not that hard. Doesn't require any special skills or a huge team. This looks to me that OpenAi has a tiny app development team compared to the rest of their organization. Their AI team consists of clear rock stars. Their UI team, not so much.

No offense, but I can't seem to pull an actual point out of your comment.

Parent is saying that the UI is pretty lacking and nothing special.

Yeah, I must be still missing the point.

The chain literally started with that sentiment so literally repeating it doesn't seem like it's adding anything new, so I was wondering what the actual point is.

The overwhelming success of GUIs compared to the command line shows that text prompts aren’t ideal, I think. Of course the command line isn’t equivalent to a chatbot, but they still both require a lot of prior knowledge.

Nothing you said is a counter-argument to the part you quoted. It may still be usable compared to the other ones while being clumsy in general.
