How can a software developer compare a deterministic program with LLMs?? Please tell me that you aren't, or that it's not what really think!!!

How can a software developer not do the one basic abstraction step to see them both as tools with some unknown, low probability of error?

The human developer+compiler+linker toolchain isn't free of bugs either, some percentage it will produce code that fails loudly and sometimes it will produce code that has silent bugs, be it due to wrong source code or due to compiler or linker bugs.

you're talking to a senior software engineer on a forum of senior software engineers, the very men constructing our future. I'm looking forward to reading his response.
