LLMs are the first step in the movement away from the "early days" of computing where you needed to learn the logic based language and interface of computers to interact with them.
That is where the inevitabilism comes from. No one* wants to learn how to use a computer, they want it to be another entity that they can just talk to.
*I'm rounding off the <5% who deeply love computers.
This dumb thing again.. The logic based language was and remains a major improvement [0] in being able to build abstractions because it allows the underlying implementations to be 'deterministic'. The natural language misses that mark by such a wide margin that it is impossible to explain in nicer language. And if one wants to make the argument that people achieve that anyway, perhaps you reading through one [1] will put that thought to rest :)

A deterministic program given the same inputs will always give the same outputs.
We can debate about what is cool, cold or freezing but a thermometer will present the same numeric value to everyone.
