I really am surprised that people on a heavy CS themed forum still have trouble grasping this.

Imagine the year is 1995, C exists, but some guy out there is working on essentially what modern Python is. He says to you "check out this language, you can just import stuff, and use it and dynamically modify anything at run time". You can probably come up with hundreds of arguments about things that could go wrong, like memory clean up, threading, e.t.c, but turns out, incrementally, they were all solved and we have the modern Python that basically is good enough to build these large LLM models.

Now imagine modern programming and computing is what C was back in 1995, and AI use is that guy building the Python code.
