It reminds me of “magic”. I say “expelliamus” and the wand flies out the other guys hand, not his hat, or wallet or the person behind’s sandwiches.

The details always matter. There is a (fairly) good book series where it turns out we are living in the matrix and someone finds a config file and effectively becomes a Wizard, and of course problems ensue with details (like flying by adjusting one’s position one feet up every second is just vibrating a lot)

I think ultimately AI is “do what I mean” and the only reason it looks like it’s working is because AI has read all the same books as us
