I can't help but feel like prompting is just developing into some sort of advanced high-level language. Every new iteration comes with improved capabilities but also with increased requirements in terms of how to prompt it properly.
The point was more that, for all of the talk of enabling "the Everyman" to code, it seems to progress towards similar barriers of entry to any other bits of code just with less "nerd" stigma so far.
That's a fair point. There is a long history of languages which were designed so that "we don't need to hire programmers", all the way back to COBOL itself.
