Correct - as long as the tools the LLM uses are non-ML-based algorithms existing today, and it operates on a large code base with no programmers in the loop, I would be wrong. If the LLM uses a chess engine, then it does nothing on top of the engine; similarly if an LLM will use another system adding no value on top, I would not be wrong. If the LLM uses something based on a novel ML approach, I would not be wrong - it would be my "ML breakthrough" scenario. If the LLM uses classical algorithms or an ML algo known today and adds value on top of them and operates autonomously on a large code base - no programmer needed on the team - then I am wrong
