Right, English is just a plain bad way to tell a computer to do something. The signal to noise ratio is too low and references are too ambiguous.

You see this with the ridiculous "prompt engineering" crap that has sprung up where people are slowly reinventing programming languages but completely unspecified. Something that could be specified in 4 lines of godforesaken YAML ends up taking 40000 words of very bizarre English and using enough energy to roast a whole pig.
