Ignore the “AGI” hype—LLMs are still fancy autocomplete. All they do is predict a sequence of tokens—but it turns out writing code is mostly about stringing tokens together in the right order, so they can be extremely useful for this provided you point them in the right direction.

I'm just super happy to see someone talking about LLMs realistically without the "AI" bullshit.

If LLMs help people code, then that's great. But stop with the hype, grifting, etc. Kudos to this author for a reasonable take. Extremely rare.
