The last point is neither right nor wrong, it's fanfiction. The second point is wrong. You can automatically synthesize code from a specification (and you could already do so before LLMs, arguably even better with SMT solvers), but who is going to write the specification in the first place, buddy? That's the problem that's never been solved, and it will never be solved because it can't be solved. It is not easier to write a specification in English than it is to write it in C++. It's like saying that math would become easier if we took away the burden of using mathematical notation. Not only it wouldn't get any easier, it would get significantly more difficult! Lies are dangerous, because if you say too many of them, you start believing your own. "AI is like a human you can talk to", they said. Now they act as though that's true, and they talk to the AI, without realizing it's the same faithful mechanical slave it has always been, perfectly capable of carrying out nonsensical instructions to their nonsensical results. And the instructions are necessarily nonsensical, because they insist on using an interface too wide, where saying something precise is all but impossible.
