Chat models make UI redundant. who will want to learn how to use some apps custom interface when they are used to just asking it to do what they want/need? Chat is the most natural interface for humans. UX will be just trying to steer models to kiss your butt in the right way, eventually, and the bar for this will be low as language interaction problems are going to be obvious even to teen-agers.
The amount of work going into RLHF/DPO/instruct tuning and other types of post training is because UX is very important. The bar is high and the difficulty of making a model with a good UX for a given use case is high.
