I'm the author, and I don't disagree with this at all - I do use LLMs pretty meaningfully in my day-to-day engineering work, and I definitely agree that they hold a ton of promise in situations like the one you mentioned. To be clear, I'm very much bullish on the applications of LLMs to e.g. coding! The point I was trying to make there was just that for _certain_ tasks, the process of chatting with an LLM is, by nature, less precise and more arduous than a purpose-built UX. By analogy, we might have "describe-your-change" functionality in Photoshop, but its no replacement for all the other pixel-perfect editing functionality that it provides, and I'd struggle to imagine a world where Photoshop is ever _replaced entirely_ by a chat UX
