On the one hand, this feels very pragmatic.

On the other hand, it feels like what people who weren't great software engineers say.

It's kind of a craft. I can't imagine an exceptional artist saying "screw the craft, I just want the painting that vaguely resembles what I requested".

I _can_ imagine artists that were not exceptional saying "it's so great that I can just prompt and get the damn painting, who care about how it's put together".

Up next, an architect who doesn't understand how concrete pours or how steel bends under stress? Hope the AI gets it perfect?

Interesting times we live in - and I realize this is an elitist take.
