I’ve thought about your comment, and I think we’re both right.

Fundamentally, computers are a series of high and low voltages, and everything above that is a combination of abstraction and interpretations.

Fundamentally there will always be some level of this-it’s not like an A(G)I will interface directly using electrical signals (though in some distant future it could).

However from what I believe, this current phase of AI (LLMs + Generators + Tools) are showing that computers do not need to solve problems the same way humans need to because computers face different constraints.

So abstractions that programmers utilize to manage complexity won’t be necessary (in some future time).
