I don’t mind LLMs in the ideation and learning phases, which aren’t reproducible anyway. But I still find it hard to believe engineers of all people are eager to put a slow, expensive, non-deterministic black box right at the core of extremely complex systems that need to be reliable, inspectable, understandable…

You find it hard to believe that non-deterministic black boxes at the core of complex systems are eager to put non-deterministic black boxes at the core of complex systems?

In a reductive sense, this passage might as well read "You find it hard to believe that entropy is the source of other entropic reactions?"

No, I'm just disappointed in the decision of Black Box A and am bound to be even more disappointed by Black Box B. If we continue removing thoughtful design from our systems because thoughtlessness is the default, nobody's life will improve.
