As I said, "AI models don't replace compilers, they replace software developers" so yes, I agree that AI models are like humans.

while both LLMs and humans are not 100% deterministic, I don't think that's the interesting part. It's both true that there are many assembly language programs that implement a C program and that there are many valid programs (in any programming language) that correctly implement a natural language spec. But there's a significant qualitative difference between the two types of translation and that would be true regardless of whether the translations are stochastic.

It would be interesting to state sane measurments that determine a "distance" between a spec and software that claims to implement it
