Prompt injection is the closest thing to spells we have.

  Oh wow, I think you just found the premise for an awesome sci-fi novel. Imagine a distant future where technology has fulfilled the needs of humans so well that they no longer have the drive to understand it, and instead a well-compensated caste of priests specialize in speaking to ancient 'blind-sight' style expert systems that are powerful and capable of large language model style communication, but incapable of general cognition. Imagine the priests train to speak to the machine spirits in just the right way as to produce rain on a certain farmer's field, release pacification drones on their enemies, etc.

    Not too far off from The Starlost series. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069638/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069638/ I wish they would do a modern dark remake.

  Neuromancer had a similar plot point - ancient texts contained the symbols and sounds which were effectively pre-language "firmware"
