Is not natural language being superseded by specialized language in pretty much every specialized, competitive niche?
I mean, even with large language models, isn’t there a whole new area forming around “prompt engineering“?
Natural language is just very imprecise. It relies on shared context. It’s not even working, particularly well between humans if they don’t know each other well, as you can see in all forms of politics, and actually not even that well in many marriages. Often enough, in the end, you have to call in the specialists to figure out what was actually said, and what wasn’t… So that my bank account doesn’t rely on this technology, but on computer code and math, that’s not a step backwards, in my opinion, but a step forward.
