I would assert this is affecting all programming languages, this is like the transition from Assembly to high level languages.

Who thinks otherwise, even if LLMs are still a bit dumb today, is fooling themselves.

Compiling high level languages to assembly is a deterministic procedure. You write a program using a small well defined language (relative to natural language every programming language is tiny and extremely well defined). The same input to the same compiler will get you the same output every time. LLMs are nothing like a compiler.
