It's /., but they're saying that human Language will be the next programming language.

I'm imaging all sorts of horror stories coming out of this, deals with devils and genies come to mind for examples of needing to be careful what you wish for.

If it isn't bad enough the way people 'code' these days by just stringing a lot of other peoples libraries together without understanding what they truly do, this will be on another level of bad altogether.

Security, reliability and useability are just a few of the things that suffer now, let alone if people seriously think they could code entire programs from AI prompts. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

Hopefully it never rises above the threshold of mere intrigue by non-coders and fizzles out before it has even begun.
