Programming is essentially automation. You tell the machine what to do character by character, and if you get it right, the machine will be able to correctly interpret your intention, transform it into a lower level code, and then execute it.

AI is also automation but the instructions are given in a higher level language. You still have to know how to automate it. You need to instruct the machine in sufficient detail, and if done correctly the machine will once again be able to interpret your intention, transform it to a lower level code, and execute it for you.

"sufficient detail, and if done correctly" -> the machine will once again be able to interpret your intention ...

This does not actually follow from the way LLMs work.
