There is the huge blind spot where tech workers think LLMs are being made primarily to either assist them or replace them.

Nobody seems to consider that LLMs are democratizing programming, and allowing regular people to build programs that make their work more efficient. I can tell you that at my old school manufacturing company, where we have no programmers and no tech workers, LLMs have been a boon for creating automation to bridge gaps and even to forgo paid software solutions.

This is where the change LLMs will bring will come from. Not from helping an expert dev write boilerplate 30% faster.






Low code/no code/visual programming has been around forever. They all had issues. LLMs will also have the same issues and cost even more.

I'm not aware of any that you speak/type plain English to.

You never heard of COBOL? It's original premise was you can now use something resembling English to write programs.
