So the only thing I am seeing here is physical or personal (I have no idea how you feel or what your emotions are. You are a black box just as an LLM is a black box.)
The only thing you mentioned is the fan fic and I would happily take the bet that an LLM could win out against a skilled person based on a blind vote.
I agree with this so much. And on top of this, I have the strong feeling that LLMs are BETTER at code than they are at english, so not only are you going from a lossy formate to a less-leossy format, you are specifying in a lossy, unskilled format.
Programming is one of those things where everyone thinks they are above average, like driving.
If most people are average, then just use the bot to spit out average code. Or better yet, if you are above average, use it to spit out average code and then you need above average code, then write it.
Most programming is boilerplate. Its not faster to type boilerplate than t is to have the robot do it. I promise.
Programming is hard. If it wasn't you wouldn't be getting paid what you do.
This is what clouds like AWS, Azure, and GCP solve (vertex AI, etc). They are already an abstraction on top of the model makers with distribution built in.
I also don't believe there is any value in trying to aggregate consumers or businesses just to clean up model makers names/release schedule. Consumers just use the default, and businesses need clarity on the underlying change (e.g. why is it acting different? Oh google released 3.6)
I think thats a great analogy. There are a lot more people who can dictate a story page by page to a "writing machine" and create a 300 page book than there are who can write a 300 page book of a the same quality without a writing machine.
Same with coding. Most programmers, and writers, are average. They are not doing amazing work. They get paid 80-120k, same as the HR professional, or the account manager.
Creating average work was always relatively easy for writing and coding and is now relatively easy for everyone.
