In order to get good results out of an LLM, you need to be very precise in what you want. Even if it can spit out an entire game, you will have to describe it so well, you are basically creating the entire game yourself. But instead of using a standard programming language, you are using something understood by the LLM.
Exactly haha, we were joking about this exactly thing at work when all the hype started (I’m a software engineer). We were like, “to make a whole app you’ll have to tell an AI super specifically every little behavior you want the app to do. Do you know what telling a computer very specifically what you want it to do is called? Programming.” lol
I’m excited about the potential for LLMs as coding tools (and I already use them to help with various programming related things), but I’m not worried about my job being replaced any time soon.

He includes the text in bold that says breakout. It’s cool but I’m not terribly impressed.
