I think I understand the trepidation a lot of people are having with prompting an LLM to get software developed or operational computer work performed. Some of us got into the field in part because people tend to generate misunderstandings, but computers used to do exactly what they were told.

Yes, bugs exist, but that’s us not telling the computer what to do correctly. Lately there are all sorts of examples, like in this thread, of the computer misunderstanding people. The computer is now a weak point in the chain from customer requests to specs to code. That can be a scary change.
