I've never heard of non-deterministic programming languages. Is that really a thing?

(I mean - cue the JS jokes and all, but, really?)

Fwiw, to me, writing prompts feels most similar to management, directing, maybe psychotherapy (though I never worked in that, just guessing). Knowing how to adapt and use language to guide the "other" to achieve a goal, but without having insight into the exact way they go about it.

I feel like when I talk to ChatGPT I am directing it. "guide to directing AI bots" has its share of problems too, and "directing prompts" is just flat out unsexy.
