I call out false dilemma. OP probably defines "code" as one of the languages precise enough to be suited for steering Turing machines. Thus, "code" is not the opposite of "prompt". They are apples and oranges.

Lawyers can code in English, but it is not to layperson's advantage, is it?

And for example, if you prompt for something to frobnicate biweekly, there is no intelligence today, and there will never be, to extract from it whether you want the Turing machine to act twice a week or one per two weeks. It's a deficiency of language, not of intelligence.
