Can the LLM run away, stop the conversation or even say no? It's as much as your boss "talking" to you about the task and not giving you a chance to respond. Is that a talk? It's 1-way. E.g. ask the LLM who invented Wikipedia. It will respond with "facts". If I ask a friend, the reply might be "look it up yourself". This a real conversation. Until then. Even parrots and dogs can respond differently than a forced reply exactly how you need it.

A German Onion-like magazine has a wrapper around ChatGPT that behaves like that called „DeppGPT“ (IdiotGPT), likely implemented with a decent prompt.
