alt Hacker NewsI agree, there is a reason we settled on programming languages as a interface to instruct the machine. Ultimately it is a tool to indicate our thoughts as precise as possible in a certain domain.
People that don't understand the tools they use are doomed to reinvent them.
Perhaps the interface will evolve into pseudo code where AI will fill in undefined or boilerplate with best estimates.

Having reinvented them, they will understand. In this way, human progress is unstoppable, even with knowledge micro (and macro) dark ages.
There are plenty of alternatives for programming than through written language. It's just that commercialization took the first thing that was available and exploited it. Same thing is happening with AI. Many innovations are doomed to become cursed. Computers are cursed. Medicine is cursed. Science is cursed. Everything sucks and that's just the way it is.
After the war when the dust settles, we'll start over. We might escape the death of the sun, but not the heat death of the universe. Therefore, none of the above matters and I'm rambling.
