I’ve been saying this for years now: you can’t avoid communicating what you want a computer to do. The specific requirements have to be made somewhere.
Inferring intent from plain english prompts and context is a powerful way for computers to guess what you want from underspecified requirements, but the problem of defining what you want specifically always requires you to convey some irreducible amount of information. Whether it’s code, highly specific plain english, or detailed tests, if you care about correctness they all basically converge to the same thing and the same amount of work.
