I've never said or implied what you're arguing against right now.

An LLM building software benefits from using a formal language, formal tests or having a formal specification in a similar way we do. Everything you can formalize into something, so you have certainty about stuff, is always a benefit.

I wasn't comparing exact science with LLMs. I was comparing current messy review processes of code performed by humans with future messy review processes of code likely performed by LLMs.

If you find a way to convert code reviews into a fully formalized process, then this is clearly the winner. If the LLMs find a way to do that, same.

If you find a way to formalize the process of driving through any street in any situation, then this is clearly the winner. Until then, driving stays messy and stochastic.
