Yes. Outsourcing engineering to LLMs is like building bridges based on structural integrity in minecraft. The real product here is just a "language calculator", that also does "code generation" because it makes financial and PR sense. That people even believe these models can be novel makes one look to the way this thing is marketed. It's also a good time to really take our heads out of the sand and re-evaluate how we expect people to learn civil engineering if their only teacher is a minecraft world. You might get some people that are perfect in minecraft. The rest will be hopelessly stunted. Pretty soon it'll pivot to materials engineering to figure out how exactly a minecraft block adheres to a surface because we lost the original irl way to build a bridge.
