That's my general point: it's easier to say what you want than to implement it in a low-level (relative to English) language. Hence why English is a good programming language.
And LLMs aren't just good at binary search, they're good at lots of things.
Imagine you are in a room with a programmer who is unquestionably better and more expert than you are.
Now let's say you need to write a program. Would you be better off trying to write it yourself, or describing what you want to the better programmer, and letting them write it?
Obviously the latter!
Given a sufficiently advanced compatriot, English is the preferred programming language.
Now, are LLMs good enough? Probably not yet, but getting there rapidly!
