It isn't a misrepresentation. At every point it was human communicating with machine. That's the context set from the very beginning. Whatever the language used in that communication, whatever the actual input provided is called, however many layers of translation between the input and the output, it's all the same result: things that map user input to machine output. And to the original point, humans are integral to the production of said things.

Nope, you can't just redefine "communication" to be equivalent to "programming" and "inputting requirements".

If programming isn't communication, then what is it?

"Communication is commonly defined as the transmission of information. [...] A common way to classify communication is by whether information is exchanged between humans, members of other species, or non-living entities such as computers." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication

There are entire Wikipedia pages where you can look up questions like "what is programming": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

How did you find the page on communication, but not the one on programming?

"Computer programming is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks."

What point are you trying to make?

Notice how it doesn't talk about programming being a "composition of sequences of requirements"? Or how it's not defined "as the transmission of information"?

Again, what is your point? State it clearly.

From the start, my point has been that your initial take[0] :

>> AI definitely produces bad software

> Does your IDE of choice produce bad software?

is fundamentally wrong, because your arguments rely on equivocating concepts that have well-defined qualitative differences.

What concepts were wrongly equivocated and in what way?
