> So you engineer the prompt. I’m still confused what the problem is ...

The problem is stakeholders are people and they define what problems are needed to be solved. For those tasked to do so requires understanding of the given problems. Tooling (such as LLMs) does not possess this type of understanding as it is intrinsic to the stakeholders (people) whom have defined it. Tools can contribute to delivering a solution, sure, but have no capability to autonomously do so.

For example, consider commercial dish washing machines many restaurants use.

They sanitize faster and with greater cleanliness than manual dish washing once did. Still, there is no dish washing machine which understands why it must be used instead of not. Of course, restaurant stakeholders such as health inspectors and proprietors understand why they must be used.

As far as the commercial dish washer is concerned, it could just as easily be tasked with cleaning dining utensils as it could recycled car parts.
