You mean these?

I use AI everyday but you’ve got hundreds of billions of dollars and Scam Altman (known for having no morals and playing dirty) et al on “your” side. The only thing AI skeptics have is anecdotes and time. Having a principled argument isn’t really possible.

The issue with prompting is English (or any other human language) is nowhere near as rigid or strict a language as a programming language. Almost always an idea can be expressed much more succinctly in code than language.

Combine that with when you’re reading the code it’s often much easier to develop a prototype solution as you go and you end up with prompting feeling like using 4 men to carry a wheelbarrow instead of having 1 push it.
