Well, That would be ideal, but if I type in "Middle-aged white male in full plate armor standing on a battlefield resting on a full tower shield" I likely will want to further modify the result, or style, or detail level. There almost certainly will continue to be "hacks" to get it stylized as desired. Even if I say "Painting of..." there's still a huge range of options.
I understand and agree that it's desirable to get AI prompts as close to natural language, but how do you quantify a level of stylization in natural language? "A very very very very Michelangelo style painting of a slightly slightly slightly Middle-aged white male..."
I think prompt engineering will change quickly, and to keep up, it could potentially be a 'profession' that is very specific to the model. I don't think that's a bad thing, but I would think/agree that it will likely not employ many people at all.
"Prompt engineering" is just specification writing but with a LLM instead of a person as the one implementing the spec's requirements. Natural language is imprecise, precisely specifying requirements is hard, and LLMs can't read your mind any more than other humans can.
