The article discusses the limitations of current AI coding tools, which have failed to deliver on the promise of natural language programming. While higher-level languages aimed to simplify coding, the first wave of AI tools often produces subpar results. The author argues that programming requires precision akin to writing laws, which AI tools currently overlook. Instead of enabling casual conversation for coding, effective programming necessitates proper documentation to manage complexity and ensure clarity, suggesting that future AI advancements must emphasize accuracy over convenience.
