With existing tools, we know if we need to do something, we can. The issue with LLMs, is they are very much black boxes.

Honestly, having a compiler interface for LLMs isn't a bad idea...for some use cases. What I don't see us being able to do is use natural language to build complex apps in a deterministic manner. Solving this problem would require turning LLMs into deterministic machines, which I don't believe will be an easy task, given how LLMs work today.
I'm a strong believer in that LLMs will change how we develop and create software development tools. In the past, you would need Google and Microsoft level of funding to integrate natural language into a tool, but with LLMs, we can easily have LLMs parse input and have it map to deterministic functions in days.
