Programming languages are structured and have specifications. It is possible to know what code will do just by reading it.

Well designed ones do, at least. LLMs, in their infancy, still bring a lot of undefined behaviour, which is you end up stuck in the code for a few minutes -> compile -> wait -> repeat cycle. But that is not a desirable property and won't remain acceptable as the technology matures.
