I've found myself personally thinking English is OK when I'm happy with a "lossy expansion" and don't need every single detail defined (i.e. the tedious boilerplate, or templating kind of code). After all to me an LLM can be seen as a lossy compression of actual detailed examples of working code - why not "uncompress it" and let it assume the gaps. As an example I want a UI to render some data but I'm not as fussed about the details of it, I don't want to specify exact co-ordinates of each button, etc However when I want detailed changes I find it more troublesome at present than just typing in the code myself. i.e. I know exactly what I want and I can express it just as easily (sometimes easier) in code. I find AI in some ways a generic DSL personally. The more I have to define, the more specific I have to be the more I start to evaluate code or DSL's as potentially more appropriate tools especially when the details DO matter for quality/acceptance. |
