Haha I love this, great read. The concept of llms serving as a fourth generation compiler is not really novel. I think we saw Databricks in here talking about LLMs as the new compiler and Python as the new bytecode. Anyway if we're to follow this line of thought, it might not be long before large language models begin interfacing directly with machine hardware, bypassing the need for languages like python and java altogether. Like what purpose would they serve? This could streamline computational processes, reducing overheads and inefficiencies.
As the distance between the llm and hardware closes, human interaction with these systems might evolve to use even higher-level languages, further abstracting us from the underlying mechanics. it's conceivable that, in the hopefully distant future our interaction could advance to direct neural or brain interfaces, where our thoughts translate into commands without the need for any traditional "coding" at all. Instead the spec becomes the software. These are damn exciting times
