I think we’re probably way to early in the AI lifecycle to really form any strongly held beliefs yet.

In the 11 months since ChatGPT was released, things have come a long way. Who knows where we’ll be in another 11 months.

What I'm trying to say is that the problem is not approachable this way at all – efficiently generating code by describing what you want, since when you compress what you want into a prompt you lose the details, and in order to restore all of them you will need a much bigger prompt volume than code generated. Because it is code itself which compresses an idea but no idea can compress the code well enough. In another 11 months it will be exactly in the same spot - it will not be able to be more efficient at this task by the nature of it.
