> What do you think an LLM is if not no/low-code?

An LLM is not low code. It's something that generates the thing that does the thing.

Most of the time it generates 'high' code. That high code is something that looks like hieroglyphics to non developers.

If it generated low code then it's possible that non developers could have something that is comprehensible to them (at least down as far as the deterministic abstraction presented by the low code framework)

[_pdp_]

Low or no code tools abstract away the idea of code being used. You are working with high-level concepts like workflows or in the case of coding assistants PRDs, etc. These coding assistants produce code but if you don't read the code at all it might as well not exist and frankly users who use Lovable (like may 10yo to make a website) have a vague idea that there is code behind all of this but frankly it does not really matter. So these are technically low-code tools - not in a traditional sense like workflows but still low code tools.
