Isn’t this no different than a compiler? I don’t specify which registers to use in C or Java, and yet the code runs! An awful lot of time has been put into the compiler to know which registers to use and how to juggle them. Is an LLM any different in its behavior (albeit different in how it was trained)? If not, then specs are just an even higher level programming language. I think the difference is that, with a C compiler, when it gets it wrong I’ll have some terrible performance impact, it when the LLM gets it wrong, it will do something nobody wanted, like delete someone’s account or debit one account without crediting another.
