There are lots of reasons not to do it. But if LLMs get good enough that it works consistently people will do it anyway.

    Writing specs
    • auggierose 1y ago
      Exactly my thought. This is just natural language as a specification language.

        ...as an ambiguous and inadequately-specified specification language.
        • auggierose 1y ago
          In the end, every specification is specified via natural language, this is just where the buck stops. All math books are written in natural language, even the ones about specification languages.

            Huh? Is ABNF a "natural language"? Is the Go language spec a "natural language"?
            • auggierose 1y ago
              How is ABNF itself specified? Yes, via natural language. And the Go language spec is written in natural language, too, you can check for yourself: https://go.dev/ref/spec https://go.dev/ref/spec

                ABNF itself is specified with a well-defined grammar and syntax...
                • auggierose 1y ago
                  Yes, but the spec is still done in natural language: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5234 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5234 Just like any other RFC.
