> are these tools really that hard to use?

Exactly! If people have 'never felt this far behind' and the LLM's are that good. Ask the LLM to teach you.

Like so many articles on 'prompt engineers' this (never felt this behind) take too is laughable. Programmers having learnt how to program (writing algorithms, understanding data structures, reading source code and API docs) are now completely incapable of using a text box to input prompts? Nor can they learn how to quickly enough! And it's somehow more difficult than what they have routinely been doing? LOL
