I think we still have a solid control lever on the quality of code we can get AI to generate. Using things like linters and code style checkers, as well as setting up the markdown documentation to guide the agent to generating consistent code will certainly generate different code than just prompting.

Similarly there was an example of edit: Terence (not Eric) Tao chatting with an agent attempting to solve a math problem. "Using AI" means applying your expertise to interact with it as you would a high level colleague. 2 experts in a field don't need to have perfect english and a bloated prompt, they have a massive education/experience common background to fall back on.

It does appear that anthropic in particular is attempting to create a more common experience across expertise levels, but in the current landscape an expert and a novice are unlikely to get the same results. But that does seem to be the goal...
