If you study communication, carefully crafting communication to the target audience and context is one of the most basic lessons in the use of natural language.

Well, yeah, that's why we keep inventing formal sublanguages and vocabularies for humans.
Exactly so. So I'm confused on what the advantage of querying the gpt with natural language is, if what you want to get is something specific. It just seems to me that a more precise query language would be more desirable.
As a general creative thing, I can see it, though.
