I have a pretty negative opinion about LLM's coding abilities (and predictions about how they will improve). But I don't get a lot out of this type of argument. Compilers created a perfect, deterministic, provable abstraction so that we could have 99% of developers no longer know how assembly works and not suffer any consequences. Humans don't have to give up any control or make any quality compromises to deploy them as widely as possible.

If the author is contending that AI models will improve to a point that they actually make no mistakes while coding, and have that same level of reliability, then they're on exactly the same side as AI doom trolls just wearing a different costume.
