What is conceptually different between prompts and code? Code is also not always what the computer will do, declarative programming languages are an example here. The only difference I see is that special precaution should be taken to get deterministic output from AI, but that's doable.

Code is defined as:

>noun A system of symbols and rules used to represent instructions to a computer; a computer program.

In the other hand the prompt is for the AI. It's not meant for instructions to a computer.

  • So, Prolog is not code then?

    I can't run C on it either, without translating it to machine code first. Is C code?

    • A prompt is for the AI to follow. C is for the computer to follow. I don't want to play games with definitions anymore, so I am no longer going to reply if you continue to drill down and nitpick about exact definitions.
