I don’t disagree with your divinity spell comparison but unfortunately there is a lot of value in the prompts because these spells are the “programming languages” of LLMs.

> understand how much value can be in low-definability non deterministic prompts

When was the last time you used an LLM to evaluate how true those last part(s) still are?

I also love how you went from "I'm unable to understand" to "This is surely right", it's a good representation of the software ecosystem at large :)
