Exactly. I made a similar comment as this elsewhere on this discussion:

The old adage still applies: there is no free lunch. It makes sense that LLMs are not going to be able to take humans entirely out of the loop.

Think about what it would mean if that were the case: if people, on the basis of a few simple prompts could let the agents loose and create sophisticated systems without any further input, the there would be nothing to differentiate those systems, and thus they would lose their meaning and value.

If prompting is indeed the new level of abstraction we are working at, then what value is added by asking Claude: make me a note-taking app? A million other people could also issue this same low-effort prompt; thus what is the value added here by the prompter?

I’ve been thinking about that too! If you can only make an app by “vibe coding” it, then anybody else in the world with internet access can make it, too!

Although sometimes the difficult part is knowing what to make, and LLMs are great for people who actually know what they want, but don’t know how to do it
