I think the dividing line between skilled and unskilled use of AI is 'machine, do magic' vs 'machine, do x, y and Z, thus and so, avoid i, j, k which knowledge is the fruit of bitter experience.' Being able to articulate what matters and why is the ultimate high level language.
At that point you are just defining the requirements, you may as well write the code for it
I don't think so. The otehr day I assigned an agent to build a filter for an NDJSON stream and to make it stackable, it took me maybe 2 or 3 minutes to write up the behavior I wanted and it was done, tested, and working 15 minutes later. I don't see how I would have been better off spending the afternoon doing it manually, fixing my own own typos, forgetting one category, using the wrong regex library etc
