One thing I do think ChatGPT has been good for is reducing the "learning overhead" of making use of a lot of different APIs - this makes extensibility, scriptability, end-user programming etc. more attractive, although other problems like maintenance costs are still there. Automating the injection of arbitrary outside customizations into third-party systems not designed for it seems like a hard problem with or without LLMs, but I guess it's worth someone giving it a shot and seeing how far they get.
