    It’s just as crazy as saying “We don’t need math, because every problem can be described using human language”.

    In other words, that might be true as long as your problem is not complex enough to be able to be understood using human language.

    You want to solve a real problem? It’s way more complex with so many moving parts you can’t just take LLM to solve it, because that takes an actual understanding of a problem.

      Ha

      If you ever write code for a living first thing you notice is that people can’t explain what they need by using natural language ( which is what English, Mandarin etc is), even if they don’t need to get into details.

        Also, natural language can be vague and confusing. Look at legalese and law statutes. “When it comes to the law, NOTHING is understood!” ‐- Dragline
