This is completely wrong. Compilers are complex programs fraught with bugs. Modern microprocessors are hideously complex devices fraught with bugs. But at least we understand them in principle and practice. LLMs are nonsense generators, you need a second device that can recognize correct programs to use them effectively. Only humans can do that all-important second part. > Programming has always been about finding the next black box that is both powerful and flexible. That's the opposite of programming. Programming is the art and science of developing reliable algorithms. You can treat programs as black boxes only after you're sure that they work correctly. Otherwise you're just engaged in a kind of cargo cult. That the scary thing about the LLM fad: so many people seem so willing to abdicate their responsibility to actually think.
