i too find lots of value in llms but your example describes a scenario a programmer could have also easily solved and maybe even had writing it correctly in the first or second shot.

that isn't to say an llm can't be useful but your post implies it's inevitable that llms will replace humans entirely from writing code, which i think is incredibly optimistic at best.

that said we will see!

Yes but I forgot to mention that scenario took me seconds as opposed to 30-60 mins total time. And yes, I do believe humans will be mostly removed from writing code. I didn't believe it but now I do.
if you mean typing characters, maybe

if you mean that business people will just prompt llms to build and run their businesses, that's a fantasy
