I mean, yes - you’re reviewing and architecting, but not creating.
replySame as if you use an image diffusion model. You can describe very clearly what you want, and iterate carefully until you get a picture that looks good. But nobody would say that they “drew a nice picture”, since they haven’t done any drawing.
(except maybe the mega-power-users who use the tool and have a warped view of their accomplishment)
> But that's not programming because its a natural-language conversation?
replyCorrect. Programming is writing code. You are not writing code, therefore you are not programming. I don't understand what's so complicated about this.
I'm literally making a program. Present-progressive of the verb to program. I feel like you're pearl-clutching on semantics. By my read, programming != writing code, but writing code is most definitely programming. Oxford defines 'to program' as both.
replyYou're not making a program. You're managing the AI that is making a program. You're a manager, maybe a designer or architect too, but not a programmer.
replyThese are well defined roles that existed well before AI. You don't get to redefine them just because you feel like you should get to be part of some imaginary "programmers' club" without doing the actual thing that defines the "programmer" role.
