Don't know why you got downvoted, you're 100% right. It's just another layer of abstraction. Like a super high level non-deterministic level of abstraction.

I would say that it's doesn't count as a "5G language" if you have to understand and check the underlying "assembly code" it outputs every time you use it.

If natural languages were just another level of abstraction, we would already have a successful English like programming language.

They do. And have been around for years. Theyre not successful because theure full of a lot of fluff. Because its language and not instructional.

If you mean the likes of COBOL, I’d say that’s hardly natural language.

It seems there a lot of people on Lemmy who dislike anything AI. I have no choice at my work so I have to make the best of it as I’m not leaving my job in this economy.

You will learn to like something because you’re being extorted to use it.

Sounds about right.

Yeah well welcome to work life in the US. It sucks but I’m surviving.
