But there is functional equivalence. While I don't want to downplay the importance of performance, we're talking about something categorically different when comparing LLMs to compilers.

Not when those LLMs are tied to agents, replacing what would be classical programming.

Using low code platforms with AI based automations, like most iPaaS are now doing.

If the agent is able to retrieve the required data from a JSON file, fill an email with the proper subject and body, sending it to another SaaS application, it is one less integration middleware that was required to be written.

For all practical business point of view it is an application.
