In practice we've been doing setting the threshold of what we care about for a long time already, with firmware, operating systems, libraries, etc. You can always go one level deeper if you want more. Did you want to know how readline works? What about terminal control characters? What about pty? What about the input? The keyboard interface? HID? Device drivers? USB? Packet transmission? Serial interfaces? Electrical connections? Signal integrity?

LLM code provides just another type of available abstraction where we can stop in learning, but not really something entirely new.
