I worked on a very early iteration of LMs (they weren't "large" yet) in grad school 20 years ago and we drove it with a Makefile. The "prompt" was an input file and it would produce a response as an artifact. It never even occurred to us to structure it as a sequential "chat" because at that point it was still too slow. But it does make me wonder how much the UX changes the way people think about it.
