I would like to hijack the "high level language" term to mean dopamine hits from using an LLM.

"Generate a Frontend End for me now please so I don't need to think"

LLM starts outputting tokens

Dopamine hit to the brain as I get my reward without having to run npm and figure out what packages to use

Then out of a shadowy alleyway a man in a trenchcoat approaches

"Pssssttt, all the suckers are using that tool, come try some Opus 4.6"

"How much?"

"Oh that'll be $200.... and your muscle memory for running maven commands"

"Shut up and take my money"

----- 5 months later, washed up and disconnected from cloud LLMs ------

"Anyone got any spare tokens I could use?"

Here's $1000. Please do that. Don't bother with the LLM.
