I think at some point in the future, you'll be able to reconfigure programs just by talking to your LLM-OS: Want the System Clock to show seconds? Just ask your OS to make the change. Need a calculator app that can do derivatives? Just ask your OS to add that feature.

"Configuration" implies a preset, limited number of choices; dynamic languages allow you to rewrite the entire application in real time.

Maybe I'm missing it, but when my calculator app gets a new derivatives feature, how am I supposed to check that it's implemented correctly? End user one-shot of bug free code seems like a different technology than what LLMs offer.

Yeah I don't see how LLMs are ever supposed to be reliable enough for this, but they did say "at some point in the future", which leaves room for another (better) technology.

I agree that as LLMs approach the capabilities of human programmers, the entire software paradigm needs to change radically. Humans at that point should just ask their computers in human language to introduce a new visualization or report or input screen and the computer just creates it near instantly.

Of course this requires a huge architecture change from OS level and up.
