Love it, Jake, very interesting history. What's the book? It's a great analogy because of course I still say I'm programming even if it's high level, and I trust the compiler.
But I admit I'm still one of the type of people you play devil's advocate with: I just hate to read LLM generated text (not what this post is about completely, but I saw it elsewhere and didn't comment at the time). I think it's because text is so akin to our personal voice that we actually do our conversation in. If I can detect that someone generated text with LLM and then passed it off as their own, instead of trusting their authentic human expression, why should I give it my authentic human time and attention? But if I can't detect it, and I get some sort of value from the text, then I guess I don't have any ideological or moral opposition.

I'm enjoying your work
This was such a good read!! Loved the compiler comparison
