Replacing human computers with electronic computers is nothing like what LLMs do or how they work. The electronic computer is straight up automation. Same input in gives you the same input out every time. Electronic computers are actually pretty simple. They just do simple mathematical operations like add, subtract, multiply, and divide. What makes them so powerful is that they can do billions of those simple operations a second.

LLMs are not simple deterministic machines that automate rote tasks like computers or compilers. People, please stop believing and repeating that they are the next level of abstraction and automation. They aren't.
