Them using excavator and trucks etc to move dirt. Is the same as us using a compiler to compile code into an executable.

LLM would be if the digging and hauling of the dirt happened without any people involved except the planning of logistics.

you'd sometimes discover a city communication line destroyed in the process; or the dirt hauled on top of a hospitals, killing hundreds of orphaned kids with cancer; or kittens mixed into concrete instead of cement.

And since you clicked "agree" on that Anthropic EULA, you can't sue then for it, so you now hire 5 construction workers to constantly overlook the work.

It's still net positive... for now at least... But far from being "without any people". And it'll likely remain this way for a long time.
