I'm sympathetic to this view too, but I don't think the solution is to have LLM's generate bespoke code to do it. We absolutely should be using them for more natural language interfaces tho.

But if the LLM needed to write bespoke code to buy the tickets or whatever, it could just do it without needing to get you involved.
Yeah, that can also work. But I don’t see the future of software is to keep building multimillion line of code systems in a semi manual way (with or without llms). I think we will reach a phase in which we’ll have to treat code as disposable. I don’t think we are there yet, though.
We probably need higher levels of abstraction, built upon more composable building blocks and more interplay between various systems. To me that requires less disposable code though.
