An important difference is the code precisely expresses many behaviours of the program, and a correct compiler guarantees to respect those behaviours.

An AI prompt is not so precise, and an AI offers no such guarantees to respect the behaviours expressed.

This is why the primary artifact of the development process, which we review and version control, is still the code, and not the prompt.

That said, I do think there's a lot of value to be gained by recording and analysing the prompt/response loop behind the code that ends up in a codebase
