> I love the abstraction of AI

Careful with that wording. LLMs are not an abstraction, they do not provide an abstraction, not in the software sense, as they are completely non-deterministic the way they are used today. Saying "write me a function that does xyz" is not an abstraction layer ontop of writing it yourself.

It is a really interesting debate, it seems to be a type of abstraction at least, with an interface as a natural language instead of a typed schema.
