MODERATORS
These are the kinds of things I bring up when talking to people about using LLMs. Sure for short simple logic the room for ambiguity is small, but for more complex systems, the benefit of programming it is to be explicit. Prompts != programming as they don't produce deterministic outputs and can lead to faulty outcomes (even if they run).
