It's a totally fair question. I'm personally wondering if there's a half way point. Some kind of structured language that isn't plain English that a "dumb" LLM is able to parse. It could be human written, or it could be written by a "smart" LLM at a greater cost.
The more we go in that direction we closer we get to reinventing frameworks in a more compute heavy way.
It just so happens that there's no framework (outside silos) for many specific tasks, and AI is the workaround to surface those patterns.
