If you can't see the difference between a compiler and an LLM then that's on you.

LLMs are a game changer in a completely different way than compilers. With compilers there is a (roughly, barring optimizations) 1:1 correspondence between input and output. With LLMs you take an idea and it will drive the whole thing from the beginning all the way to the end.

This is unlike anything that we've done so far. It's also strange to focus on programming: LLMs are coming for all information related jobs. If your job is somehow described as 'staring at a screen' then that job is on the line, if not sooner, than later.
