Sure, but the discussion here is around "in production"? I'm trying to imagine a scenario and I'm coming up short.

You can triage with an LLM, at least. Throw away the obvious junk, have a human look at anything doubtful.

I think it's just another floor in the creaky old tower of abstraction. Machine code > ASM > 3GLs > 4GLs > visual programming > LLMs etc etc etc. Thing is, the moment you go off-piste, the LLMs get a lot less useful. I t

Five years and a tribunal hearing for doctors in the UK. Seems like they take it on a case-by-case basis. (source: https://www.mpts-uk.org/-/media/mpts-documents/dc4432-guidan... )

Dig up beaches on the east coast, dump as landfill on the west coast. Nothing's too much trouble for The Great Experiment. Of course, Ireland will have to move out the way. (Wait, is this an actual metaphor for Brexit?)
