He's not wrong. People are just drinking the AI kool-aid too hard to realize that the emperor has no clothes.

How come it works with humans? Give seasoned engineers a spec and they'll create a working product. Many software companies are created and guided on the verbal directions of people who don't code.

I think "working product" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for you here.

I think anyone who has done serious product development wouldn't be so flippant and dismissive about the difficulties of even conveying WHAT to build, let along getting the right balance of quality, timeliness, and actual functionality.

Because humans are fundamentally different from LLMs regardless of how much people draw the comparison.
