Yes, I do find it a little funny how the developer community got it all wrong and the non technical people who were thinking AI is going to change everything in 2023 were the right ones. Maybe they know more than developers think.

They don't know more. Humanity mostly doesn't know how LLMs work because most of the properties just emerged from the soup of billions of weights whose sheer complexity is so high that understanding any of it holistically is impossible.

The difference is the arrogance. Developers think they know more. Developers think they're smart. And also there's an existential crisis where the LLM are poised to take over developer jobs first. So the developer calls every other layman an idiot and deludes himself into thinking his skills will always be superior to AI.
