Salvatore really wants to popularize the term Automatic Programming/Coding it seems. (https://antirez.com/news/159)

I keep finding myself to minimize the words to describe the same thing as well, since we are finding ourselves doing "that" operation more and more over time.

maybe shortening the term to "auto-code" would help tho.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_programming It's an acknowledged term in computer science, describing any mechanism whatsoever of auto-generating code from a description at a higher level of abstraction. Of course LLM's are highly unusual in being non-deterministic and having a surprisingly broad scope, but this does not make the term inapplicable.
