Your compiler created the bytecode that the CPU runs. How can you take pride in writing your Rust code?

That point was specifically addressed in the article.

Given that a compiler doesn't include a statistical model likely to create one's written Rust code, the compiled bytecode is quite clearly an expression of said writing.

How can you take pride in writing a novel when it’s Notepad and Windows that is translating keystrokes to letters?
If you go to a coffee shop and ask for extra ice, whole milk, double espresso latte - did you make the coffee or did the Barista make it. You gave him some specific directions didn’t you?

It’s the same with LLMs.
