Assembly language generation by symbolic AI (compilers) has been here for 60 years. The "prompts" are very precise and predictably behaved, but requiring the users to learn a specialized language. (Most such languages tend to be concerned with the "how" rather than "what".)

With the new AI, you just specify the "how". Then you get a buggy program, in one of the above specialized languages for the old AI, and the rest of the prompts in the chat are edit instructions on how the AI should fix the code to make it work.
