I think about LLMs in software today as attempting to provide a similar role as compilers in terms of translating high-level thoughts into low-level details.

The only problem is that I actually trust compilers.

How quickly would you drop a non-deterministic compiler for the source code of a project?

I detest this compiler analogy so much: llms are non deterministic by nature, compilers should not and are not

I'm not saying that LLMs are like compilers.

I'm saying that LLMs are like really bad compilers hehe.
