AI as a 'nomer' really realy reminds me of what we used to call 'impressions'. It just gives you the impression of a result.
People use the word AI to refer to a picture, video or audio clip that (in effect) does an 'impression'. Like an actor doing an impersonation.
The abstraction thing is a big topic. An indirection, frameworks and LLMs are asbtractions that are 'flat' or expand outwards on the architectural blueprint of code(s). These are ideal, or semi-ideal code ideas that are understood objectively, built from a set of primitives that someone, somewhere chose.
The other 'abstraction' is the heirarchy of abstraction, from electricity, to binary, to machine code, to assembly, to C, to C++.
I think there is another "couple layers" of abstraction above programming languages as we have them. But there is a grueling No-Mans-Land of work to get to the 'next step up'.
If we can get above 'high level programming languages' then we can capture some subjectivity from the programmer.
I really struggle to think in flat abstractions or blueprints/maps of code, to my own detriment. But it does make sense as a concept.
