The main difference is that the input to an LLM is in an ambiguous language.

A programming language is allowed to be ambiguous, I don’t know of a definition that excludes that!

  • All programming languages I know of provide at least some guarantees about the program’s behavior.

  • The language specs may be, but an implementation is never ambiguous. When you encounter and undefined behavior in the specs, that’s when you look at your compiler/interpreter docs.
