They aren't because we're not committing prompts. The analogous would be compiling to and then committing unmaintainable assembly when the higher level language, which is a deterministic compiler, already exists

> not committing prompts.

nothing prevents people from committing their prompts. I've started seeing prompts being committed into repos, or at least as part of the commit message.

In any case, if in the future there's a prompt specific language, it would be committed. I dont think we've reached there yet, but i dont doubt this is on the path to the future.

You mean, like a ... programming language? Honestly I can't tell these days what is satire and what isn't.

I posted a while ago about connecting an LLM directly to an assembler and people thought it was a bad idea. Now we're going in exactly that direction
