It's just the next rung on the enshittification ladder. So many steps in our "progress" to enlightenment as a society, as a technology community, is just abstracting away work with a "good enough" solution that is around an 80% solution

That's fine for the first iteration or two, because you think "oh man this is going to make me so productive, I'll be able to use this new productivity to wring 40% of progress out of that 20% gap"

But instead we just move on to the next thing, bring that 20% shittified gap along with us, and the next thing that gets built or paved over has a 20% gap, and eventually we're bankrupt from rolling over all that negative equity

The counter argument for this is the comparison for traditional compilers. AI is "the new compiler", just for natural language. The optimization happens over time! But I am not so sure about that.

Except that the most glaring difference is that compilers are deterministic, while LLMs aren't.

Given the same input, compilers will always return the same output, while for LLMs. They won't, given the same input, they will return different output.
