Yes, but that's the point.

We're not writing code in a computer language any more, we're writing specs in structured English of sufficient clarity that they can be generated from.

The debugging would be on the specs.

> writing specs in structured English of sufficient clarity

What does "sufficient clarity" mean? And is it english expressive enough and free of ambiguities? And who is going to review this process, another LLM, with the same biases and shortcomings?

I code for a living, and so far I'm OK with using LLMs to aid in my day to day job. But I wouldn't trust any LLM to produce code of sufficient quality that I would be comfortable deploying it in production without human review and supervision. And most definitely wouldn't task a LLM to just go and rewrite large parts of a product because of a change of specs.
