Agreed - "underspecified prompts" being listed as a failure of the tooling is not a strong case. Even interns can understand ambiguous asks with a bit of help, and understand when they need to stop and ask instead of just carrying on. They are often working fairly independently on ambiguous tasks before the end of an internship, too.

So is the argument that frontier models are not just junior engineers, but first-month interns with no capability of progressing beyond that level?
