That's the thing. You don't communicate with computers. You use them. You have a task to do that the computer have been programmed for and what you want is to get the parameters of that tasks to the computer. And you learn how to use the computer because the tasks is worth it, just like you learn how to play a game because you enjoy the time doing it. The task supersedes the tool.

Generative AI can be thought as an interface to the tool, but it's been proven that they are unreliable. And as the article outlines, if it can get to 70% of the task, but you don't have the knowledge requires to complete it, that's pretty much the same as 0%. And if you have the knowledge, more often than not you realize that it just go faster on a zigzag instead of the straight route you would have taken with more conventional tools.
