> The idea that you can't specify the load bearing pillars of your structure to the AI
But English is a subjective and fuzzy language, and the AI typically can't intuit the more subtle points of what you need. In my experience a model's output always needs further prompting. If only there were a formal, rigorous language to express business logic in! Some sort of "programming language."

I disagree on the "can't". LLMs seem no better or worse than humans at making assumptions when given a description of needs, which shouldn't be surprising since they infer such things from examples of humans doing the same thing. In principle, there's nothing preventing a targeted programming system from asking clarifying questions.

Yes, and the early days of all tooling were crude. Don't underestimate the march of progress.
