In fact we've been using programming LLMs for a long time, which we call compilers.

The acronym LLM stands for what is now a term of art for a class of information- processing systems which are produced by, and themselves produce their output by, methods very unlike those for compilers. This is just as well, considering the consequences that would follow from compilers routinely hallucinating.
