That’s because gods are a mythical/supernatural invention. No technology can ever really be omniscient or omnipotent. It will always have limitations.

In reality, even an ASI won’t know your intent unless you communicate it clearly and unambiguously.

The communication I get from customers is seldom clear and never unambiguous but I’ve managed since the 90’s

Right, but you have to do a lot of work, and really most of your work is in this area. Less on the actual building stuff.

Figuring out what to build is 80% of the work, building it is maybe 20%. The 20% has never been the bottleneck. We make a lot of software, and most of it is not optimal and requires years if not decades of tweaking to meet the true requirements.

I recently came to this realization as well, and it now seems so obvious. I feel dumb for not realizing it sooner. Is there any good writing or podcast on this topic?
