>LLMs are nothing like that. Using a LLM is more akin to management of outsource software development.

You're going to have to tell us your definition of 'Using a LLM' because it is not akin to outsourcing (As I use it).

When I use clause, I tell it the architecture, the libraries, the data flows, everything. It just puts the code down which is the boring part and happens fast.

The time is spent mostly on testing, finding edge cases. The exact same thing if I wrote it all myself.

I don't see how this is hard for people to grasp?

The things you do with an LLM are precisely what many other IT-firms do when outsourcing to India. Now you might say that this would be bonkers, but that is also why you hear so often that LLM's are the biggest threat to outsourcing instead of software development in general. The feedback cycle with an LLM is much faster.

I think I understand you, and I think you have/had something else in mind when hearing the term outsourcing.
