Devon Govett(@devongovett):This is what happens when programmers think everyone is like them. There’s a reason most people don’t use the terminal. AI requires less precise commands but it is effectively the same thing. You have to already know what you want to do and what the program is capable of doing. This is what GUIs solved 40 years ago.
