alt Hacker News> I think most of us would be fine if the LLMs could actually just type out the code for us after we engineered it in our heads and explained it to the LLM in English language. Alas, they do produce some sort of code, but not always, or often enough not in a way we desribed it.
That's exactly what they do for me - especially since the November model releases (GPT-5.1, Opus 4.5).

I never promised anyone a superintelligence, or single-person-billion dollar unicorns.
I do think these things are just advanced text generators, albeit the word "just" is doing a whole lot of work in that sentence.

I mean it's inherently impossible, given the statistical nature of LLMs, so I am not sure are you claiming this out of ignorance or other interests, but again, what you claim is impossible due to the very nature of LLMs.
