Prompt is code.
- amelius 1y agoPrompt is specification, not code.
- teucris 1y agoNot to be too pedantic, but code is a kind of specification. I think making the blanket statement "Prompt is code" is inaccurate but there does exist a methodology of writing prompts as if they are specifications that can reliably converted to computational actions, and I believe we're heading toward that.
- amelius 1y agoYeah, I assumed someone would say this. My manager gives me specifications, which I turn into code. My manager is not coding. This is how to look at it.

- bwfan123 1y agoprompt as code is a pipe-dream. The machine model for natural language doesnt exist - it is too ambiguous to be useful for many applications. Hence, we limited natural language to create programming languages whose machine model is well defined. In math, we created formalism to again limit language to a subset that can be reasoned with.
