> the only way thats not true is on very niche systems Are these very niche? Yeah, there is a category of coding where what you are doing is essentially translating from English to some high-level language with high-level APIs. This is not significantly different than translating to Spanish, of course LLMs will be successful here. But there are endless other domains with complex reasoning where LLMs absolutely suck. Like please tell me how will an LLM reason about concurrent access. And prompting it so that it will reply with "Oh you are right, here is Atomic blahblah" is not reasoning, it's statistical nonsense. Don't get me wrong, I do think LLMs are a very useful tool, but it is as much overhyped by some as it is underhyped by others.
