Don't people get better results by putting LLMs inside the right kind of loops and using the right kind of prompts? If I go to Claude and prompt "make me a website" it certainly doesn't produce as good of a result as other people with more sophisticated processes get.
I haven’t seen loops work for anything beyond simple tasks. And for complex tasks the loop itself is so complex half the time it would just fail and need you to intervene. Why would you go through all that effort of engineering a loop when a descriptive prompt followed by inspection is more than enough. It’s like idle hands looking for something to do.
And Claude or gpt can make websites just fine. So can the open weight models.
