@mark For sure. Computers exist to automate tasks humans would rather not do.
But it's a false equivalence to say LLMs are like compilers.
Compilers are deterministic and verifiable. The instructions produced by the compiler follow directly from the higher-level code.
LLMs are non-deterministic. The code they generate does not (at least, not formally or verifiably) follow from the prompt.

@camertron Very true. LLM output is verifiable and not deterministic.
