The things that are specific about a "thin wrapper" to ChatGPt versus a "thin wrapper" to some other program or system, is that a ChatGPT wrapper has to end-up as "plain old English/language". This has the challenge that any/many people can generate this language 'cause language generate is what (nearly all) people do (while creating even a "trivial" command line string is a specialized skill) and also the challenge that such an app will inherit ChatGPT's quality of being never more than "mostly" reliable at any given task (as a result of GPT-3-4 being just a product of an amazing brutal large text averaging process).
