It’s much worse than that. LLMs today don’t produce the same output for the same prompt.

If you think that’s bad you should see how non-deterministic the alternative is (human programmers). Thankfully LLMs can iterate on the code they write, anyone who is using them to generate the same code from scratch each time a change is made needs some extra education. They are not code generators, they are junior programmers.

And junior programmers need supervision.

You’re agreeing with my point though which is that LLMs aren’t higher level compilers. LLMs aren’t abstraction, they are delegation.
