Ok so they sort of have something in common...but I'm not sure it's good advice to say one can be used to replace the other due to their very different overall strategies.

Ok. But most developers aren't building AI tech. Instead, they're coding a SPA or CRUD app or something else that's been done 10000 times before, but just doing it slightly differently. That's exactly why LLMs are so goo
