That is a shame actually. I think LLMs are interesting to explore here.
For example, if I had a bunch of data and I wanted to combine it with data in some other form, I might have to hope that some transformation between formats is pre-existing. In some near-term future, I might actually just expect some LLM to inspect the two formats and either do the transformation manually or even intelligently write the code to perform the transformation.
As a totally trivial example - imagine I had my CV/resume details in some database and I wanted to apply to a lot of jobs. Many job boards have their own weird formats for inputting your education, experience, cover letter, etc. It feels reasonable to believe that soon a LLM could take my resume details and intelligently fill out the form. Extending this to any form or any API seems reasonable.
