I’ll look past the disrespectful flippant insult on the hope that there’s a brain there too.
They’re a probabalistic phonograph. They can sharpen the funnel for input but they can’t provide judgement on input or resolve ambiguities in your specifications. Teams of human requirements engineers cannot do it. LLMs are not magic. You’re essentially asking it; from my wardrobe pick an outfit for me and make sure it’s the one I would have picked.
If you’re dazzled into thinking LLMs can solve this you just don’t understand transformer architecture and you don’t understand requirements engineering.
You’ll know a proper AI engine when you see it and it doesn’t look like an LLM.
Humans aren't magic either. LLMs don't need to be magic to be useful, or to replace humans for that matter.
Humans are magic from the LLMs perspective because the token window sizes they would need to approach human experiential disambiguation of requirements would be orders of magnitude larger. Useful in general or replace in general some human activities is a goal post shift that was never the discussion here.
