That, but with nondeterministic semantics.

  When I see the phrase “prompt engineering”, I read it as “programming in a new, different, and underspecified language that has weird semantics and that you don’t know as well as you should.”

    Today I'm thinking again about the "Children of the Magenta" lecture. In the late 90s, airlines realized that after going all-in on automation and flight assists in the 80s, they had trained a generation of automation-dependent pilots who were no longer capable of dealing with novel situations in which the automation couldn't help, or failed. Children of the magenta flight path line on the computer. I'm thinking about it because someone this morning bragged about letting LLMs write the code.
