These are good points.

I think though that LLM-based tools will eventually formalize to achieve a greater precision at what's required. I suspect that they could be a base for a new crop of different, much-higher-level programming languages.

Programming languages went a long way; somebody from 1960 would have hard time putting things like Haskell or even SQL into the same conceptual bin as the original Fortran. We routinely see them as programming languages though. I don't see why this trend can't continue upwards, relegating even more legwork onto the machine while talking to it in reasonably precise, standardized, domain-specific terms.
