alt Hacker NewsGrocery stores are a level of abstraction. Exchange money, get food. If your whole life you had grown food, it might feel a bit strange.
Occasionally the low level details leak through ie: this egg came from this farm, theres a shipping issue so onions are more expensive or whatever.
I think llm assisted coding is going to work something like this.
but you either exchange money and get the food you want, always. Or it's out of stock, so you don't get the food but you keep your money, guaranteed.
It's not a good analogy. With an LLM you might ask for a pea, be parted with your money, and be given a watermelon.
