Clearly there wasn't much appetite for someone to do that.

It will be like that at some point soon, just not now. Are you trying to make the point that because this technology is not yet perfect the fact that it can already do so much is unimpressive?

Well, people with the domain knowledge exist, yet they have not yet written this driver... why not?
Because there is other code those experts want to write, and they don't have time to write it all... but what if they could just give a fairly straightforward prompt and have the LLM do it for them? And if it only took minor tweaks to the prompt to have it write drivers for all the myriad combinations of hardware and software? At that point, there might be enough time to write it all.
Just because people exist that can DO all the work doesn't mean we have enough person-hours to do ALL the work.
