> It tells me I need to get out because it represents a shift to a higher level of abstraction in programming. In the ideal I hear expressed, instead of programming you'd be just describing the code you want and letting someone/thing else do it for you. To me, LLMs are just "advanced" (read: statistical) codegen, unlike compilers and interpreters that are deterministic (should generate functionally equivalent code). But there's as much novelty there as there was when the C compiler or LISP repl was introduced. |

That's fair, although I would disagree with the notion that compilers are code generators.
But using code generators is not something that is interesting to me even a little. They remove much of what interests me about programming. So your explanation -- while it makes sense and I wouldn't argue that you should feel any differently -- underlines that I need to get out of this industry.
