> If you needed to play so much with words, then it will eventually become a specialized task killing any benefit of having the AI doing the work for you since we eventually we will need to resort to specialists to use the AI to get the result we expect.

This matches my view of the idea that AI will replace programmers. My value isn't in the typing and the syntax, it's in my ability to turn a spec into an internally consistent design by resolving conflicting instructions and clarifying edge cases; and sometimes in knowing what the user wants when they are unable to express it themselves.

Even if AI winds up writing all of the code, someone with the programmer mindset still needs to define the problem in a concrete manner. They'll always have a job as a "machine-talker."
