What's "lower level" in this context? And why shouldn't we assume that assembly language or even circuit design will also be affected by describing in natural language?

We've heard variations on this argument for decades and I see no difference why LLMs, despite their immense capabilities, will be massively different. They still take guidance and produce garbage output which requires knowledge and expertise to turn into a cohesive product. Will they replace some script writing, or some business logic translation? Of course. But so did SQL, no-code, and plain-English testing frameworks. LLMs are an incredibly powerful tool but they're not a silver bullet.
