Great post and Naur's paper is really great. What I can't help stop thinking is of the many other cases where something should-not-be because being is less than ideal, and yet, they insist on being. In other words, LLMs should not be able to largely replace programmers and yet, they might.

Might, potentially; it's all wishful thinking.

I might one day wake up and find my dog to be more intelligent than me, not very likely but I can't prove it to be impossible.

It's still useless.
