The major fallacy in low/no code and proposing LLMs as programming tools is thinking that you can automate away complexity.
Any automation will introduce complexity. There's no free simplicity lying around. We all need to take low entropy energy sources and dissipate it to get work done. If you don't want to reap barley by hand, you need an entire supply chain for machinery. The complexity can be hidden, you can pay people off to deal with it. But someone will have to manage it.
People wanna buy machinery and have technical support. They don't want to build machinery and maintain it. People want working software, they don't want to design, build and maintain it. That complexity never goes away.
