I guess, just to play devils advocate, what if code turns out to just be the minimally expressive communication medium required for a human to maintain agency over the function of a system?
If we consider (and I’m not saying this is true, just for arguments sake) that this agency is important as other humans enjoy talking to humans about a goal, rather than machines, and we think this will never change.
In this peculiar case, it actually doesn’t matter how “good” llms get - they will never cross a barrier fundamental to human nature?
