My argument was not that LLMs aren't useful but that a compiler is a completely misleading anamlogy.

You compared them to humans. Humans live in the world, have a world model, meet people for lunch and exchange ideas. Agents read markdown files and code.

Simanwords, you spend a lot of time on HN promoting LLMs and being dismissive of humans in comparison. I have to ask:

Whose side are you on?

You don't like that LLM's can be compared to compilers because compilers are deterministic. You don't like LLM's being compared to humans because.. LLMs can't meet people for lunch? I don't think determinism was something you were worried about in the first place.

Unfortunately, I think a useful + non deterministic tool is not something people can grasp for some reason
