As you perch comfortably in your Throne of Purity, it's worth remembering that the average software developer sits on top of 10+ layers of abstraction (not counting hardware).

LLMs are not a level of abstraction, can we let the meme die already? For the same reason why literature summaries are not an abstraction over reading.
The generated code is an abstraction, as you do not need to concern yourself with how it was made, only the surface API. Saying "can we let the meme die already" is not an argument.
It might be an abstraction, but definitely not the same level of frameworks, OS, machine code, etc.
LLM is not a runtime. It might be something akin to non deterministic compiler where it converts your MD to code.
