I like how the English speaking world came up with Legalese because English is so ambiguous, and now a whole bunch of people pretend that they can program computers with natural language. 😅

After reading the first half of this I was going to make the point that humans who had “natural language” at their disposal choose to use SQL instead of natural language to interact with data…. But you pretty much made that point already.

Secondly - everyone think back to your analyst days… When is the last time you got a coherent English paragraph as a request for an analysis/dashboard/report? Mine were always the results of a hand waving conversations with torn off sheets from yellow legal pads with unreadable diagrams and handwriting. So if AI can deal with that - sounds awesome!
