'Wordcel' Celebrates Using Plain-Language Poetry to Command Computers
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-11-15
A self-described "wordcel" — someone who identifies as good with words and bad at math — reflects on how they can now simply send natural-language "poetry" to a computer to make it do what they want, instead of navigating the bad UIs that were previously the only option (designed, in their telling, by "shape rotators" busy with more important shapes).
The poster adds that AI can even handle the math that once kept them out of STEM, calling it a joy. The post is an emotional endorsement of natural language as the new interface for computing, highlighting how AI lowers the technical barrier for non-technical people.
