That would be awesome, but we've tried for decades and haven't gotten there with basic if/else. I do think it's pretty plausible that if you combine some very slimmed down models with strong heuristics you could get far though. At the moment I think expense doesn't really matter -- an hour of a knowledge worker's time is worth 416,000 tokens of GPT-4, the most expensive model out there. For llama-2 it's even less time. Unless you're processing truly epic numbers of tokens, by far the most important is whether we can use these things for real.

Oh, I know — I was trying to throw some shade on the state of JS frameworks rather than LLMs. With the pendulum now swinging back to vanilla DOM manipulation, it feels like the enormous effort spent on devising ways to wrap web UIs in endless variations of abstractions might have been somewhat of a waste.
