Sure, but how long would it take to implement this algorithm, and would that be worth it for one-off cases?

Just today I asked Claude to create a jq query that looks for objects with a certain value for one field, but which lack a certain other field. I could have spent a long time trying to make sense of jq's man page, but instead I spent 30 seconds writing a short description of what I'm looking for in natural language, and the AI returned the correct jq invocation within seconds.
