But it isn’t creating what I had in mind, or envisioned, if you will.

It might not be exactly what you envisioned, but that's where the difference comes in: with a batch processing system, you generate something over night with one input. With command processing systems you generate something with dozens or hundreds of individual commands, and it might still not be what you want.
With AI systems you generate something with one action, allowing you much faster iteration loops. Remember, the author argues that the current prompting still has bad usability. Presumably a system with good usability could allow you to generate what you want with one, or a couple, of attempts.
The current systems do let you iterate, that’s why they use a chat interface. Has everyone just been firing off a single request and then giving up if the first response isn’t perfect?
The system lets you iterate, but you don't have to iterate to arrive at the result you want. Is that really so hard to understand?
There is no magic "paint the picture I want" button in Photoshop. There is a magic button in AI tools. This magic button does in one request what would take dozens or hundreds of commands without the magic button.
