LLMs "work" in other domains is a supposition, not a fact. A very, very, very much rejected supposition.
There is no fucking thing as "artificial intelligence". Intelligence is either real or not real. What is kicked out to you isn't "code" it is a model of code. A facsimile. As a professional geologist I have made thousands of models, we don't pretend that they actually ARE the reality. The map is not the territory.

@Okanogen @reading_recluse Being a software guy, I am not going to argue about geology LLM results. I hope you trust my expertise in turn when I say: yes, it is code. And it is way better than it used to be half a year ago. It still needs some manual review and fixes, but it is perfectly usable. Unless you are arguing from a philosophical point of view, saying that code is not code unless an actual coder has written it? In the same way cloth'd be no cloth if a weaver hasn't woven it. I'm afraid that would leave most of us pretty naked, at least philosophically.
