> LLMs can build anything.

This is only possibly true if one of two things are true:

1. All new software can be made up of of preexisting patterns of software that can be composed. ie: There is no such thing as "novel" software, it's all just composition of existing software.

2. LLMs are capable of emergent intelligence, allowing them to express patterns that they were not trained on.

I am extremely skeptical that either of these is true.



Fair enough; I can see the exaggeration.

It is not impossible, however, that an LLM could run enough “random” tests to find new ways of doing something, but I hear you.

Let me restate that to “An LLM can build most anything…” and I stand by the rest of my comment.


I think that makes sense, the rest of your comment is definitely true.
